Mamdani now says New York City cannot make the arrest he promised during the campaign. The city information needed is practical: the written legal reasoning, the timeline of the review and how New York will protect protest rights and public safety during UN week.
The petition asks for lawful action and public records. It does not ask the city to invent an arrest power. The connected page records the climbdown and explains the ICC warrant, 22 USC 7423, 18 USC 112 and the limits on a direct NYPD arrest order.
What the petition asks for
- Publish the Law Department conclusion or a plain summary before UN week.
- Explain why the arrest was promised before city authority was confirmed.
- State whether any city agency has a lawful route connected to the ICC warrant.
- Pursue every lawful city route available and name any federal barrier.
- Protect lawful protest and publish public safety rules before demonstrations begin.
- Record any federal direction to the city about Netanyahu security, movement or immunity.
