Mira Nair is a filmmaker.

If his mother naturalized before he was born, then he was American at birth. Given that she met her first husband in 1977 at Harvard and Zohran Mamdani was born in 1991... there's a fair chance she gained her US citizenship before Zohran was born.

But this is looking at Wikipedia entries.... And not making a bigger dive into records. What the NY Young Republicans are asking for is reprehensible... But if Zohran was born American, where to deport him to? Besides in my mind Zohran is more American than Boris Johnson was 10 years ago.
