## Resource

NYC’s Democratic Socialists of America are publicly rebuking Mayor Mamdani over his decision to expand the NYPD by 580 officers — a move that contradicts his campaign pledge to keep police numbers flat. The group argues the $70 million investment is misaligned with their values and urges reallocating funds to other city agencies instead. While Mamdani defends the increase as necessary for a new Bronx patrol borough and updated training, the DSA’s unanimous statement signals a major rift. Tensions rise as the mayor’s actions clash with his socialist platform — and his promise to dismantle the controversial Strategic Response Group.
