Catherine Almonte Da Costa, a key appointee for New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, has resigned from her post and was subsequently edited out of a New York magazine cover photo.
The departure follows the surfacing of several antisemitic social media posts written by Da Costa more than a decade ago. Da Costa had been tapped to lead the administration’s office of appointments before the controversial comments were brought to light.
Da Costa was originally selected to oversee “talent recruitment strategy” for the new administration.
The posts included tropes regarding Jewish people and specific comments about transit lines in Jewish neighborhoods.
According to reports, Da Costa was edited out of a magazine cover to reflect her departure, leaving a visible white space where she had originally stood.
