Following the criticism, Da Costa deleted her X account and issued a public apology, saying she had spoken directly with Mamdani to express remorse. She cited her family ties, including being the mother of Jewish children, and said her past statements did not reflect who she is today.
Mamdani accepted her resignation, calling the situation a distraction from the work of forming the new administration. The controversy marks the second major issue for his transition team in less than a week, following criticism over another controversial appointment defended as part of a “second chances” philosophy.
Da Costa’s departure comes just days before Mamdani’s swearing-in as mayor. With growing concerns from Jewish leaders and city officials, the episode adds to perceptions of a turbulent start for the incoming administration and raises questions about vetting and leadership judgment.
