Report: Adams Weighs Handpicked Charter Panel That Could Target NYC Sanctuary Rules

Any proposed charter changes would still require approval by voters.

Overview

  • The New York Post, citing unnamed sources, reports outgoing Mayor Eric Adams plans to convene a new Charter Revision Commission.
  • The panel could revisit sanctuary policies and propose changes to primary rules, including wider participation by unaffiliated voters, according to the report.
  • Recommendations would go to a future ballot and could proceed after Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani takes office, the Post says.
  • The report says Mamdani would face legal hurdles to dissolving the commission, and City Hall has not announced such a move.
  • Raw Story echoed the Post’s account and placed it in a broader political context involving Adams’ stance on immigration under President Trump.
