Vickie Paladino Drops Suit Against NYC Council over Anti-Muslim Posts as Disciplinary Process Ends
Paladino will remove three posts and issue a clarification after the Council drops disciplinary charges over remarks colleagues called Islamophobic.
- On Monday, the New York City Council and Republican Council Member Vickie Paladino settled their ethics dispute, with the Council dropping disciplinary charges and Paladino withdrawing her legal challenge.
- The Council's ethics committee charged Paladino in March for social media posts decried as Islamophobic, including criticism of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and remarks following a terror attack in Sydney, Australia.
- Under the settlement, Paladino must delete three tweets, remove 'Council woman' from her display name on X, and issue a statement within 48 hours of court approval.
- Both parties agreed to cease public comments, while Councilmember Sandra Ung, chair of the ethics committee, stated the resolution "strikes the right balance between protection of Council staff."
- New York Supreme Court Justice Sabrina Kraus signed the stipulation on Monday, ending the conflict, and retains jurisdiction to enforce compliance with the agreement's mandated terms.
