Ogles attached a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi citing U.S. code provisions on revocation of citizenship for material support to terrorism, based on a New York Post article alleging Mamdani expressed solidarity with individuals convicted of terrorism-related offenses before becoming a U.S. citizen. Mamdani was born in Uganda.

Mamdani is a naturalized U.S. citizen who became a citizen in 2018.

- Trump administration escalates ICE raids across Los Angeles region, causing widespread community fear and economic disruption — Over a two-week period beginning in early June 2025, the Trump administration intensified immigration enforcement operations across Los Angeles and Southern California, conducting aggressive raids at workplaces including clothing warehouses, car washes, and day-labor sites. Federal agents arrested dozens of immigrants, including multiple family members in single incidents. The raids prompted the administration to deploy thousands of National Guard troops to suppress resulting protests. Communities responded by self-isolating; businesses closed, street vendors stopped working, and residents avoided public spaces out of fear of arrest.
- National Guard deployment to suppress immigration enforcement protests — The Trump administration mobilized thousands of National Guard troops to suppress large-scale public protests against immigration raids. The deployment occurred following one of the largest single-day demonstrations in U.S. history, in which Americans protested the raids and other administration policies.
