Mamdani vetoes school buffer zones as worship-perimeter bill becomes law without his signature
TL;DR
Mayor Mamdani vetoed a controversial bill that would have let the NYPD set security buffers around schools during protests, warning that the measure is broad and could affect labor, reproductive rights groups, and immigrants; he will let a separate bill expanding buffer zones around houses of worship become law without his signature, while the City Council may seek an override on the schools bill.
