Council Member Joann Ariola and the Council’s Republican Caucus are calling on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to provide details about the decision-making process behind the revocation of two executive orders related to Israel and antisemitism issued by former Mayor Eric Adams.

On his first day in office, Mamdani issued an executive order revoking all Adams-era executive orders issued after the former Mayor was indicted on federal corruption charges, including one order that adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
