Commissioner Ana María Archila was scheduled to meet with Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, at 2 United Nations Plaza.
The meeting between Archila and Iravani was called off after the State Department—which was not informed ahead of time—met with the Mamdani administration to clarify acceptable conduct. Commissioner Archila allegedly did not inform Mayor Mamdani of the meeting; she was reprimanded for the move and directed to cancel the meeting.
The development is a continuation of Commissioner Archila and the Mamdani administration’s ongoing use of public resources to advance an agenda that extends well beyond New York City. On April 16, a message was sent to staff within the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs asking them to prioritize diplomatic engagement in part based on whether foreign officials “are . . . in political alignment/leftist.” The message confirms previous reporting by El País, noting that Archila has “focused . . . on deepening relations with foreign leaders who share Mamdani’s worldview.”
Last month, Mamdani intended to meet with leftist Colombian President Gustavo Petro. The meeting was called off after the State Department declined to issue a visa following Petro’s attendance at a rally hosted by Mamdani in September. Archila’s international meetings include a two-day trip to Barcelona in April to participate in a conference hosted by the Party of European Socialists.
That Archila’s meeting was even contemplated raises questions about her judgment and the administration’s priorities. The office’s loosely defined mission is to promote a more “equitable and inclusive society” and strengthen New York City’s position as a global leader. It’s more than a stretch to suggest that a meeting with representatives of a country with whom the United States is engaged in hostilities, and with whom it has no diplomatic relations, would help achieve those ends.

This is a potential violation of the Logan Act. Hopefully DOJ will open an investigation.
Meeting with hamas next.
For those of you in Rio Linda, that would be a country with which we are currently at war.
How is this not giving aid and comfort to the enemy? She should be sitting in federal prison awaiting trial. Our DoJ are pussies.
Do I believe Mamdani didn't know?
Ha!
Oh, hell yes.
Carter Page, anyone?
Deal was to make Iran the 6th borough of New York.
But it fell through.

They say the Logan Act may be unconstitutional. Let’s prosecute this guy and find out
Leftist scum bags think that laws do not apply to them.
Newscum tried it.
State-Level Trade Relations: To protect California’s farmers and manufacturers, Newsom directed the state to pursue independent trade relationships and asked foreign trade partners to exempt California-made products from their retaliatory tariffs.
This and “Little Italy’s” neighborhood eliminated from map of NYC’s ethnic hoods tells me all I need to know about this bastard.
He does not belong here.
This should be treason and she should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Since she’s working with Mamdani, he needs to be included in the prosecution.
Just shoot her. Maybe then the dummycrapic socialists will take the law seriously. She was attempting treason.
Sort of like when Ted Kennedy visited the Kremlin during the Reagan years.
It’s not treason. Congress must declare a war against Iran so that a person could be tried for it. In WWII people were tried and convicted of treason. Hanoi Jane wasn’t indicted for N. Vietnam activity because Congress did not declare war. Just sayin...
Logan Act violation?
