A staffer from New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, tasked with promoting diversity and unity, is facing widespread criticism for actions seen as undermining her official responsibilities. Nallah Sutherland, 25, who works as a special events coordinator for the Mayor’s Office of Special Projects and Community Events, was caught on camera removing an Israeli hostage poster in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The incident, which reportedly escalated to an alleged assault on the person filming it, has ignited outrage and calls for her termination.
The controversy centers around footage shared on social media by groups including Jews of NY and StopAntisemitism.
