Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s recent decision to host Mahmoud Khalil — the organizer of pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, whom ICE has attempted to deport — for dinner at Gracie Mansion on Monday night has sparked controversy.
The fast-breaking iftar, which took place during Ramadan, comes just two days after the failed Gracie Mansion terrorist attack in which two suspects hurled bombs at groups of protesters at an anti-Muslim demonstration. For whatever reason, the bombs did not detonate, but officers were able to clear the area and apprehend the suspects.
