Mamdani refuses to say whether he’ll force homeless to take shelter during historic blizzard weeks after 19 died
NY Post
Mayor Mamdani still won’t force vulnerable New Yorkers inside — even with the Big Apple set to face nearly two feet of snow in a massive blizzard which was predicted to slam the northeast this weekend with 60 mph winds and heavy precipitation.
Fast-changing forecasts called for ever-increasing snowfall in NYC, which could see 18 to 24 inches, meteorologists said.
Even though 19 people were found dead outside during the season’s last major snowfall, a heavy Jan. 26 storm which also ushered in Arctic temperatures, Mamdani won’t budge.
“We are now expecting between 13 to 17 inches of snow, but there is a slight chance we may see up to 20 inches, if not more,” Hizzoner said at a Saturday news conference in Lower Manhattan earlier in the day, before forecasts got worse.
At least 15 of the people found dead after last month’s storm had died due to hypothermia, according to the city medical examiner.
Mamdanisaid efforts to get the homeless indoors this time around would begin 4 p.m. Saturday, but he didn’t pledge to force people inside.

Bombshell rape accusations against revered labor leader Cesar Chavez were revealed on Wednesday, a day after celebrations in his name were canceled across California. A report from the New York Times detailed accounts from multiple women, two of whom said they were children when Chavez began sexually abusing them.
