Alternet America - A Republican introduced a bill this week to deport people for their beliefs and explicitly cut the courts out of the process. Checks and balances had a good run.
Rep. Chip Roy of Texas introduced the Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists Act (the MAMDANI Act) which would deport, denaturalize, deny citizenship, or bar entry to any citizen or immigrant who is a member of a socialist party, a communist party, the Chinese Communist Party, or an Islamic fundamentalist party.
The bill is named after Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist mayor of New York City, who is Muslim and was born in Uganda. Roy has been upset about his existence for some time.
The legislation would also bar judicial review of decisions made under its inadmissibility, deportation, or denaturalization clauses, making such determinations final and legally unchallengeable. So the government could strip someone’s citizenship for their political beliefs, and that person would have no legal recourse.
