Mamdani signs executive order revoking Adams’ orders since indictment

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order on his first day in office that revokes all of former Mayor Eric Adams’ executive orders since his indictment.Mamdani, who was sworn in as New York City mayor on Thursday, signed several executive orders on his first day, including one to rescind those issued by Adams since his September 2024 indictment, The Hill reported.
“We speak about this day as a new era. And in order to fulfill that hope, we have to reckon with why so many New Yorkers have turned away from politics over the last few months, the last few years, the last few decades,” Mamdani said on Thursday at City Hall.
His first executive order reads, “All Executive Orders issued on or after September 26, 2024, and in effect on December 31, 2025, are hereby revoked.”
“That was a date that marked a moment when many New Yorkers decided politics held nothing for them,” Mamdani said.
Adams was the first New York mayor to be indicted by the Justice Department, and he was accused of taking money from Turkey to help facilitate a Turkish consulate in his city.
The DOJ under the Trump administration dropped the case last February.
Mamdani on Thursday also signed three executive orders regarding New York City’s housing crisis. Two of the orders establish task forces to speed up housing developments.
