New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Office of Immigrant Affairs releases a new map described as highlighting “immigrant enclaves,” prompting online backlash. Multiple outlets report that critics say the map omits or does not label Little Italy, a historic New York neighborhood often associated with Italian immigrants. The controversy also extends to claims that other established immigrant communities are missing or not represented as expected, with some commenters pointing to Irish and Jewish neighborhoods.

As of the reports, the reporting focuses primarily on the reactions and the perceived omissions rather than on any formal explanation from the mayor’s office for the map’s methodology or selections.
