Mamdani defends scrapping Adams' executive orders
Gulf Today
|January 04, 2026
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday defended his revocation of executive orders that his predecessor Eric Adams issued after being indicted in 2024 on federal charges of accepting illegal campaign contributions.
-
The dozen orders Adams issued since his indictment included a directive to allow federal agents, including immigration officers, to use an office on Rikers Island, the city’s main jail. That order was later struck down by a court.
The new mayor also struck down executive orders that Adams had portrayed as addressing antisemitism.
Mamdani, a Muslim who some have accused of antisemitism over his support of Palestinians in Gaza, told reporters on Friday that he would fund measures to prevent hate crimes, and would make protection of Jewish New Yorkers a focus of his administration.
