Additional transition figures were cited for past praise of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and participation in anti-Israel protests widely criticized for antisemitic rhetoric.

Mamdani announces ‘rental ripoff’ hearings for ‘abusive’ NYC landlords.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing the first major crisis of his week-old administration as his newly appointed tenant advocate’s radical views were exposed — including once branding homeownership a “weapon of white supremacy” and calling on the government to “seize private property.”
The series of past inflammatory social media posts by longtime housing activist Cea Weaver — Mamdani’s director of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants — unearthed this week sparked outrage and a warning from the Trump administration.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice Harmeet Dhillon said the feds would be on alert for any potential violations tied to the Democratic Socialists of America member’s extreme views.</small></blockquote></ref>
