Catherine Almonte Da Costa has resigned from her newly announced role in New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's administration just one day after her appointment, following the resurfacing of antisemitic social media posts written more than a decade ago.
Da Costa had been named Director of Appointments, a senior position responsible for recruiting top personnel into the incoming administration. Her resignation came after advocacy groups and media outlets drew attention to old posts that referenced Jewish people using harmful stereotypes.
