EXCERPT:
A New York state lawmaker is calling on the Department of Justice to open a civil rights investigation into New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani following two Manhattan stabbings being investigated as possible hate crimes.
New York State Assemblyman Michael Novakhov, who represents Brooklyn’s District 45, announced the request Sunday during an End Jew Hatred rally in New York City.
Alongside video of his announcement, Novakhov wrote on Instagram:
“If the DOJ stepped in to protect Jewish students at Columbia, it must now step in to protect Jewish New Yorkers.”
Lawmaker Demands Federal Investigation
Novakhov said he would send a formal letter asking the Justice Department to investigate New York State, New York City, and Mamdani.
He specifically called on federal officials “and most importantly to investigate Mamdani’s hatred against the Jewish population of New York City and New York State.”
Mamdani’s office did not immediately issue a response.
