Even though US election law prohibits candidates from accepting campaign funds from non-US citizens or residents, Zohran Mamdani's campaign reportedly received nearly $13,000 from foreign sources, including a contribution from his mother-in-law in Dubai. NYC Campaign Finance Board records that Mamdani's campaign received around 54,000 contributions from people, and out of all the donations, about 170 came from people living outside the US, according to a report. Of the foreign donations Mamdani's campaign received, they have not returned 88 donations, which together add up to $7,190. After being shown a list, Mamdani's campaign issued a statement on Saturday saying they would return any donations that broke the rules.
