"New York is under foreign occupation. There's really no other way to put it. Does this administration have one single actual American in it? Sarsour, a hijabi woman and pro-Palestinian activist, was born in Brooklyn and is an American citizen."
"The Committee on Rules, Privileges, Elections, Standards, and Ethics met on Monday and voted to charge Council Member Paladino with engaging in disorderly behavior and violating the Council's Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy. The charge was based on Council Member Paladino's conduct on social media."
"According to council rules, disciplinary actions can vary, including censure, fines, removal of privileges, mandatory training, suspension or expulsion. The disciplinary process will be conducted by the nine member committee and would need to be approved two-thirds of the 52-member City Council."
New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino has been charged by the City Council Ethics Committee with disorderly behavior and violating the Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy for Islamophobic posts on social media. The charges stem from tweets she posted in February regarding Mayor Zohran Mamdani's appointment of Linda Sarsour as chief immigration officer. Paladino's posts questioned whether the administration had "one single actual American in it," despite Sarsour being born in Brooklyn and holding American citizenship. Paladino has five days to submit a written response and will subsequently appear before the committee in executive session. Potential disciplinary actions include censure, fines, removal of privileges, mandatory training, suspension, or expulsion, requiring approval from two-thirds of the 52-member City Council.
