Homeless Camp Near Big Tourist Spot Remains Despite Mamdani Deadline

Observers note New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani campaigned in 2025 on a platform that included expanding public services and reducing the cost of living for residents.

As his administration has begun implementing those policies, critics argue that delivering on many of those campaign promises has proven more difficult than expected.

Reports indicate one of the most visible challenges has been a large homeless encampment stretching across several blocks on Manhattan’s West Side. Observers note that despite Mamdani’s stated seven-day timeline for addressing the encampment, much of it remained in place after the deadline expired.

One resident of the encampment, Liam, 40, told the New York Post that he appreciated the mayor’s approach.

“[Mamdani] has more of the human aspect,” Liam said. “He’s taking into account people, not just clumping everyone together.”

He added, “I feel like he’s saying, ‘Would I be happy with this if it’s me on the street?'”

According to the Post, media reports note City Hall did not respond to questions about the status of the cleanup.

Reports show reporters visiting the area on Monday found that much of the encampment, extending from West 34th Street to at least West 49th Street, remained intact. Observers noted only a handful of makeshift structures had been removed, including one near the Intrepid Museum.

Sanitation workers and police officers were seen clearing portions of the area, but observers point out the cleanup appeared to be progressing gradually.

Media reports note the pace of the effort contrasts with Mamdani’s stated policy of allowing homeless outreach teams and social service workers seven days to encourage individuals living in sidewalk encampments to relocate before the New York Police Department begins enforcement.

The seven-day deadline expired Monday with only limited enforcement activity taking place, reports indicate.

Sanitation crews were observed loading clothing, mattresses, and other belongings into garbage trucks while police monitored the operation.

Reports show some people living in the encampment said their possessions had been removed, but numerous tents and makeshift shelters remained near West 44th, 47th, and 49th streets between 11th and 12th avenues.

Earlier this month, the Post reported allegations of drug activity, prostitution, and the storage of suspected stolen merchandise within parts of the encampment.

Local residents and business owners have complained that the garbage-strewn camps have created safety and quality-of-life concerns for both the surrounding neighborhood and tourists.

Critics have also argued that the NYPD was initially limited in its ability to intervene because of the administration’s approach to homeless encampments.

Last week, observers note Mamdani said the city would take action to address the encampments but did not provide a specific timetable for completing the effort.

Separately, reports earlier this month said the U.S. State Department blocked a planned meeting between a senior official in the Mamdani administration and Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations.

According to those reports, Ana María Archila, commissioner of the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs, had been scheduled to meet with Iran’s U.N. ambassador, Amir-Saeid Iravani, before the meeting was canceled.

And He’s GONE: Pro-Palestinian Agitator Mahmoud Khalil Will Be Deported to N. Africa: DHS

And He’s GONE: Pro-Palestinian Agitator Mahmoud Khalil Will Be Deported to N. Africa: DHS


Pro-Palestinian activist and former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, who has been labeled pro-Hamas by the Trump administration, will now have to make Algeria his new home, as announced by the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday.

This development follows an appellate court ruling that has paved the way for the Syrian-born activist’s removal.

 

Let’s be very clear about who Mahmoud is and why his name matters.

He wasn’t some passive bystander caught up in a protest wave. Mahmoud was a key Columbia University activist and a self-styled “student negotiator” during the violent, lawless campus takeovers that erupted after the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023.

And that’s the part the establishment media loves to glide past.

After Hamas butchered civilians, slaughtered families, raped women, kidnapped children, and dragged hostages into terror tunnels, a shocking portion of America’s elite universities didn’t mourn. They celebrated.

Instead of condemning barbarism, mobs of students rushed to defend the perpetrators — hiding behind slogans about “the plight of the Palestinian people” while effectively laundering propaganda for a terrorist organization. This was open sympathy for mass murderers.

And Mahmoud wasn’t on the sidelines. He was helping organize, negotiate, and legitimize protests that shut down campuses, intimidated Jewish students, vandalized property, and openly praised the group that carried out the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

Let’s also dispense with another inconvenient truth the activists refuse to acknowledge: Hamas was elected. In 2006, the Palestinian electorate voted Hamas into power. Not imposed. Not seized in a coup.
