Newly sworn-in M*slim Mayor Zohran Mamdani has restructured City Hall to eliminate direct daily intelligence briefings from the NYPD commissioner – effectively demoting Jessica Tisch
The protocol was put in place to help keep the nation’s top terrorist target safe from threats ranging from lone-wolf extremists to coordinated plots.
Critics say the move undermines information flow that is necessary for protecting eight million residents in a city that has prevented over two dozen terror attacks since 2001, including subway bombings and vehicle-ramming schemes.
Mamdani’s executive order changes the structure of the mayor’s office, placing NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch under a deputy mayor rather than reporting directly to the mayor himself – so the NYPD Commish will no longer have access to the mayor.
This effectively demotes Tisch by moving her to a lower spot on the operational chain that includes oversight of city services like garbage collection.
Tisch, who agreed to stay on even though she disagrees with Mamdani’s anti-police stance, now faces added bureaucratic layers .
In addition, Mamdani has also canceled an executive order that beefed up NYPD patrols around synagogues and Jewish institutions that was put in place because of the rising antisemitic crimes, attacks and assaults on Jewish people nationwide.
The FBI reports show a surge in hate crimes against Jewish communities following the October 7th attack by the Hamas terrorists.
Mamdani has also hiked subway and bus fares by $3 effective January 4 – despite campaigning on free public transit.
The socialist’s backtracking isn’t isolated to transit.
In fact, he Campaigned on putting an end to rent increases for over a million rent-stabilized units to combat housing costs, however he has not issued an executive order to freeze rent, even though his inaugural executive orders focused on tenant protections.
He also Vowed to have city-run stores in public buildings to sell essentials at cost and fight food deserts but hasn’t taken any steps to start the process.
This socialist idea was inspired from models in countries like Venezuela (which plunged into starvation and poverty)
In addition, he pledged to nearly double the current $16 minimum wage to $30 to boost working-class incomes, but early silence on implementation is raising eyebrows.
