Federal Judge Blocks Mamdani Fro
New York’s new mayor just got slammed.
In his first week, Zohran Mamdani tried to stop a massive bankruptcy sale that could decide the fate of 5,000 rent‑subsidized homes.
A federal judge shut him down.
Tenants fear homelessness, billionaires circle, and a controversial adviser once tied homeownership to “white supremacy.”
Then Mamdani says he confronted Trump over Venezuela.
Zohran Mamdani came into office promising to be the mayor who would finally protect New York’s most vulnerable renters.
Instead, his first major test has left him sidelined by a federal judge while more than 5,000 subsidized apartments move closer to the auction block.
For tenants who say Pinnacle let buildings rot, the prospect of a new owner
without guaranteed resources feels less like rescue and more like roulette with their homes and futures.
The legal setback lands as Mamdani is already under intense scrutiny for
appointing tenant advocate Cea Weaver, who is still dogged by her old “weapon of white supremacy” comment about homeownership.
