NYPD Refuses to Guard Adams' Wife on Middle East Trip

A dispute erupted between NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's office and the NYPD over whether taxpayers would fund police security for his wife, Rama Duwaji, during her personal trip to Syria and Lebanon. After City Hall initially claimed the NYPD recommended the detail, the police department firmly rejected sending officers to Level 4 travel advisory zones, prompting Mamdani to dismiss the clash as a "misunderstanding".
