New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is reportedly preparing to announce his plan to disband the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group (SRG), fulfilling a long-held campaign promise that has led to mounting pressure from his base, as well as questions about how the group's duties will be replaced.

Politico reported that Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is preparing to announce plans to disband the unit, which responds to protests, civil disturbances and major events while handling counterterrorism operations.

Mamdani → create → September
"What it has eventually become is both dealing with counterterrorism and responses to exercising First Amendment rights," the mayor continued.

I believe that we should have a focus on counterterrorism that is separate from our response to the use of First Amendment — [that] continues to be a conversation I'm having with our police commissioner."
