NYC Mayor’s Wife Gets Taxpayer-Funded Guards for Syria Trip
Duwaji requested the escort as officials said the trip is personal, and critics warned the deployment could put officers in danger.
- On September 20, New York City First Lady Rama Duwaji plans to travel to Syria and Lebanon with an NYPD detail, sparking backlash for deploying law enforcement into federal 'Do Not Travel' zones.
- The NYPD denied plans to accompany Duwaji on the upcoming trip, contradicting City Hall's claim that officials recommended the protection; mayoral spokesperson Dora Pekec confirmed an NYPD detail will join her.
- Former Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind voiced heavy opposition to the deployment, arguing that sending New York police into unstable war zones recklessly endangers their lives, calling it 'wild stuff.'
- New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has defended his wife as a 'private person,' while administration sources confirmed the trip is 'strictly personal' and provides no benefit to the city.
- Scrutiny has followed Duwaji due to her political activism, including her involvement with the Democratic Socialists of America on the 'PalestineOnTheBallot' campaign and past social media controversies.
