Mamdani Admits Contact with Trump After Threats to Withdraw Federal Funding to New York City - Latino-News - Hispanic Newspaper

Critics say Mayor Mamdani’s deputy mayor appointments lack Black representation, marking the first NYC administration in 50 years without a Black deputy mayor, sparking concerns over diversity.

  • Earlier this month, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced a sharp rebuke from the coalition that helped elect him, as only one of the five deputy mayors is Latino, The New York Times reported.
  • The Center for the Study of Organized Hate found 35,522 anti‑Muslim messages reached more than 1.5 billion people after Zohran accepted the Democratic nomination, amid campaign harassment by trolls and bots.
  • Organized labor leaders criticized the administration’s leadership, with Kyle Bragg noting it is the first in 50 years to omit a Black deputy mayor, while Tyquana Henderson‑Rivers called for thoughtful attention to diversity concerns.
  • The Mamdani administration says diversity remains a priority and appointed Afua Atta‑Mensah, who led Black voter mobilization, as Chief Equity Officer.
  • Critics warn the transition from campaign rhetoric to governance may fray alliances, as some say excluding Black leaders damages Mamdani’s standing with Black voters and deepens coalition strains involving the Democratic Socialists of America .
