Ms. Dhillon is the right person to solve this issue, for sure. Thanks to our President! It is time to put her on the Supreme Court because of her critical thinking superiority and the Courts lack of – too many lazy minds.
New York City’s socialist mayor just picked a fight with the Trump DOJ – and the DOJ answered before the press release was cold.
That’s where Harmeet Dhillon came in.
And what she said on social media put every Democrat-run city in America on notice.
Mamdanis DEI Plan That NYC Lawyers Were Afraid to Publish
The “Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan” is exactly what it sounds like.
Two hundred agency-level goals.
Over 800 proposed strategies.
Roughly 600 performance indicators to track “progress.”
And $10.2 million in annual funding – a $3 million jump, roughly 42 percent more than last year – just to run the offices overseeing it.
Mamdani called it an “honest account” of who is being “left behind” in New York City.
He tied the whole thing to affordability – claiming racial inequity and the cost-of-living crisis are inseparable problems.
“Black and Latino New Yorkers – who have been pushed out of this city for decades – are bearing the brunt,” Mamdani said.
Translation: New York City is now officially sorting its residents by race and deciding who deserves what based on skin color.
That’s not a racial equity plan.
That’s a racial spoils system, dressed up in bureaucratic language and billed to the taxpayer.
Here’s what Mamdani’s own lawyers knew about it before it went public.
Internal documents obtained by City & State reveal that earlier drafts of the 375-page plan included explicit goals around hiring more people of color – language the city’s Law Department flagged as legally risky and ordered stripped out before release.
The city’s lawyers were afraid to publish their own mayor’s plan as written.
That tells you everything about how legally exposed this is.
Dhillon Saw It. Dhillon Said It.
Trump’s DOJ Civil Rights chief Harmeet Dhillon didn’t mince words.
“Sounds fishy/illegal,” she posted on X Monday. “Will review!”
Four words. That’s all it took.
Because those four words carry the full weight of the federal government behind them.
Dhillon has spent the past year making clear that her Civil Rights Division is not the same operation it was under Biden.
She’s launched investigations into DEI admissions practices at Ohio State, Stanford, and UC San Diego medical schools.
She led the probe into Minnesota’s Department of Human Services for requiring supervisors to justify hiring non-minority candidates.
One by one, Dhillon has been making the case that race-based preferencing isn’t equity.
It’s discrimination. And it’s illegal.
Now she’s looking at New York City.
The Federal Funding NYC Just Put at Risk
Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office directing federal agencies to terminate all equity-related grants and shut down DEI offices across the government.
He followed it with another order last month specifically targeting federal contractors – requiring them to certify they won’t engage in racially discriminatory DEI activities or risk contract cancellation.
The federal definition of unlawful DEI is now explicit: disparate treatment based on race or ethnicity in recruitment, employment, contracting, program participation, or the allocation of resources.
Read that back.
Now read Mamdani’s plan – which explicitly directs city agencies to sort hiring, contracting, and resource allocation through a “racial equity lens.”
New York City receives billions in federal funding annually.
The DOJ has already threatened to block infrastructure funding and pull educational grants from New York over DEI noncompliance.
Mamdani just handed that same DOJ its sharpest case yet.
The Real Play Here
Mamdani knows exactly what he’s doing.
This isn’t a policy document.
This is a political provocation – a declaration that New York City will not comply with the direction of the federal government, issued by a mayor who sees himself as the leader of the resistance.
The problem is that resistance has a price tag.
Chicago defied Trump on immigration. Chicago lost federal funding.
School districts across the country abandoned DEI programs the moment federal funding was threatened.
Trump has now tapped Dhillon for Associate Attorney General – the department’s third-highest position – and Mamdani just handed her a front-page case to carry into that new role.
This is not a plan that will survive federal scrutiny.
Mamdani knows it won’t.
His own lawyers already gutted the language before it went public – because they knew what was sitting on the other end of Harmeet Dhillon’s pen.
He released it anyway.
That’s not governance.
That’s a mayor using your tax dollars to start a political fight he already knows he’s going to lose – and sending New York City’s federal funding into the crossfire while he does it.
****
This tells you “how much lack of critical thinking this leftie person left on the kitchen floor.”
