Mamdani revokes Adams executive orders after indictment

Mamdani, sworn in as New York City mayor, revoked executive orders issued by predecessor Eric Adams, signaling a formal shift in city policy and administration.

The revocation follows Adams' federal corruption indictment, raising questions about the validity and duration of the orders and the need for new governance directions.

Adams' charges have placed scrutiny on past decisions, prompting Mamdani to reassess commitments, budgetary priorities, and oversight mechanisms embedded in the revoked directives citywide.

Officials say the transition will require coordination across agencies to implement Mamdani's new directives while ensuring continuity of essential services.

Observers are watching whether the move affects public trust and political dynamics as legal proceedings against Adams unfold and the administration's agenda takes shape.
