Debate Emerges Over Mamdani’s Remarks on Identification Policies
Mayor Mamdani's program requires two IDs, photos, and a Social Security card for payment, sparking criticism over conflicting ID policy stances amid federal payroll rules.
- New York City's Department of Sanitation requires temporary snow shovelers to provide multiple forms of identification, including two small photos, original IDs plus copies, and a Social Security card before hiring them.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani defended the documentation requirements by citing federal I-9 verification laws that mandate employers verify work authorization before issuing pay, stating the program and requirements are long-standing.
- Critics, including conservative commentators, highlighted a perceived contradiction between the strict ID requirements for snow shovelers and New York City's relaxed voter ID laws, calling it hypocritical.
- Despite promotions, turnout for the emergency snow shoveling program was low, with some locations reporting no volunteers for hours, and only about 1,000 people signing up citywide, a tiny fraction of the population.
