Mmandani's wife causes NYPD confusion over Syria visit
In September 2023, Rema Dujji, the wife of New York City Mayor Zhran Mhandani, will visit Syria and Lebanon on a personal trip to return to her native region. The visit sparked controversy over the provision of security protection by the New York Police Department. The police denied approval to send security personnel, citing the countries' classification as being at the highest levels of travel warning. Mhandani confirmed that no police escort will accompany her. Dujji's trip is tied to her Syrian roots; she grew up in Dubai and her artistic work reflects themes of identity and culture, addressing her personal life and cultural issues.
