"Mayor Mamdani indicated that his blanket repeal of Adams' final set of orders was an effort to wipe the slate clean and restore trust among New Yorkers who had lost confidence in the mayor's independence over the last 16 months. Mamdani also stressed he preserved a previous Adams order that established the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism, signaling (in his view) a continued commitment to fighting hate. Yet he also indicated that he would make changes to the program, without providing specific details."
"In his blanket repeal of all executive orders issued by former Mayor Adams between Sept. 26, 2024 (the date of Adams' federal corruption indictment) and Dec. 31, 2025, Mamdani also torpedoed orders that sought to block city agencies and employees from divesting from Israel and have the NYPD review plans to keep protests away from houses of worship, including synagogues."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani used executive action early in his term to repeal all executive orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams between Sept. 26, 2024 and Dec. 31, 2025. The blanket repeal removed orders that would have blocked city agencies and employees from divesting from Israel and that would have had the NYPD review plans to keep protests away from houses of worship, including synagogues. The repeal also eliminated an order adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism as city policy. Mamdani preserved the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism but indicated plans to change the program without offering specifics, prompting concern among Jewish New Yorkers about protection and trust.
