Mamdani could imitate Trump by using "but who's going to stop me?" (IE, doing it anyway and then backpedalling when the courts determine it was illegal 10 years later) doctrine, which would also have a chilling effect on pro-Israel groups. This would run into the issue that NYC doesn't have infinite money for fighting legal cases like the federal government does though.
Also the feds would stop him.
