Mamdani vetoes protest buffer-zone bill, widening rift with NYC Council
TL;DR
Mayor Zohran Mamdani vetoed a City Council measure authorizing NYPD buffer zones around schools during protests, his first veto and a move that deepens tensions with Council Speaker Julie Menin who may try to override him. He did sign a separate, narrower buffer-zone bill for houses of worship and reiterated concerns about treating all protests as security threats, as budget fights continue and state-level buffer-zone talks with Gov. Hochul unfold.
