Critics cite his association with activist Hasan Piker and refusal to condemn certain rhetoric, while supporters argue the opposition is driven by Islamophobia. Mamdani has released 170,000 documents regarding post-9/11 air quality and plans to attend multiple commemorative events despite the controversy.
