Judge rules Adams, Mamdani broke law by failing to release racial equity plans according to charter-mandated timelines

A Manhattan Supreme Court judge has ruled that both former Mayor Eric Adams and current Mayor Zohran Mamdani broke the law by not releasing racial equity plans according to city charter-mandated deadlines.

In the same ruling, the city was ordered to follow the established timeline going forward or risk continued legal action from the Commission on Racial Equity, a watchdog group tasked with ensuring the reports come out.
