"Extremism and hatred of any kind will not be tolerated in our city. That is regardless of whatever ideology motivates any person to commit an act of violence. There is no tolerance for it here."
"What we want to deliver to New Yorkers is a city that is safe, a city that believes in the values where everyone who calls it home is considered to be a part of it. There is no tolerance for any kind of violence within that vision of our city or the way in which we lead this city."
"The devices were later discovered to be makeshift bombs that never detonated, thrown with the intention of killing several people. Balat and Kayumi are facing federal terrorism charges for the allegedly ISIS-inspired terror plot."
Following a bomb scare at Gracie Mansion during an anti-Muslim protest and counterprotest on Saturday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani reaffirmed his commitment to free speech while unequivocally condemning all violence and extremism in New York City. Two men, Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were arrested for allegedly throwing makeshift bombs that failed to detonate during the incident. Both face federal terrorism charges for an allegedly ISIS-inspired plot. The mayor emphasized that violence will not be tolerated regardless of the ideology motivating it, and stressed the importance of creating a safe city where all residents feel included and valued.
