An ex-Biden aide who also lobbied to ban the term “illegal immigrant” while serving in Bill de Blasio’s administration was tapped by Mayor Zohran Mamdani to audit city agencies like the NYPD for sanctuary law violations, sources confirmed. Bitta Mostofi — formerly a senior official for President Joe Biden’s US Citizenship and Immigration Services — was selected to lead an audit of six city agencies, with a goal of identifying potential loopholes and closing them up, sources told The Post. Mostafi will serve as a special adviser to Mamdani’s first deputy mayor, Dean Fuleihan, as she runs the audit, which was announced just weeks after President Trump vowed to withhold billions in federal funding from cities that refuse to abandon sanctuary policies.
