Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani named Mysonne Linen and Tamika Mallory to his NYC public safety and criminal justice transition team; Linen — a rapper-turned-activist and leader with Until Freedom — was convicted in two 1999 Bronx taxi-robbery cases and served seven years, while Mallory is a controversial activist who has previously said “one day we can abolish police.” Mamdani defended the appointments as part of a 400-plus-member, 17-committee transition intended to incorporate diverse experiences, even as groups including Jews Fight Back criticized the selections.
