The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

      Apparently yes. I just looked it up. Five or six guys from the NYPD have the duty of protecting the mayor. On a case by case basis, his family might also get security. In the case of Rudy Juliani, both his wife and his mistress for security details because of course.

      Would local guys defend against federal guys? Don’t know.

        I was more wondering where he got the money, but I guess you can spend campaign money on that stuff. That makes sense.
