Mamdani's Criminal Justice Appointment Raises Eyebrows in New York City

In a surprising move that has many New Yorkers questioning the future of public safety, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has appointed Mysonne Linen, a convicted felon, to his transition team as a criminal justice advisor.

Linen's criminal history is not only noteworthy; it is downright alarming. Convicted for armed robbery in the late 1990s, he served seven years in prison before rebranding himself as an activist. His legal woes included violent incidents where he assaulted taxi drivers, which certainly raises concerns about his potential influence on criminal justice policy.


This choice, heralded as progressive by Mamdani’s camp, has sparked outrage among law enforcement officials and everyday citizens alike. Benny Boscio, president of the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, voiced his concerns, stating that it is “both disheartening and deeply disturbing” to see individuals with such checkered pasts shaping the future of the city’s criminal justice system.

Critics argue that appointing someone with Linen’s background indicates a troubling trend towards diminishing the importance of law and order in our urban environments. Recently retired NYPD Chief of Department John Chell commented on the situation, suggesting that Mamdani's administration is leaning towards an “anti-police” agenda, which could severely erode public safety in New York City.

Furthermore, the sheer number of controversial appointments made by Mamdani raises red flags. His transition team appears to be filled with individuals who have a history of radical activism rather than practical experience in managing crime rates or community safety.

This is not simply an issue of an individual’s past; it reflects a broader ideology embraced by the left that seeks to dismantle established frameworks of law enforcement. As violence and crime rates rise in urban areas, New Yorkers worried about their safety are understandably apprehensive about what the future holds under this new administration.

With Mamdani’s recent selections, including activists known for their anti-policing sentiments, it begs the question: Are citizens’ concerns for safety being ignored in the name of radical reform?

As he prepares to take office, the urgency for Mamdani to address these alarms is palpable. The incoming mayor must exhibit clarity and responsibility in crafting policies that genuinely prioritize the security of all New Yorkers, rather than pandering to a progressive agenda that could jeopardize public safety.

New Yorkers deserve assurances that their streets will remain safe and that the city's governance will be grounded in responsibility, not recklessness. The upcoming administration’s approach will serve as a litmus test for how much weight they give to law and order in a city that has seen its share of challenges.

With the clock ticking down to his inauguration on January 1, Mamdani faces the immediate task of assuaging these concerns or risk alienating the very communities he aims to serve. Public trust is on the line, and it remains to be seen whether Mamdani will uphold the commitment to safety that every New Yorker deserves.
