The New York Democrat fundraiser linked to "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., was placed on administrative leave from his job after reports of his anti-Semitic social media posts.

New York engineering firm AI Engineers (AIE) president Abul Islam announced that the vice president of their Big Apple office, Maher Abdelqader, was being placed on administrative leave. "Recent news posted on various major media outlets about an officer of AIE, the VP of our New York City Office, may have impacted our reputation as a highly respected consulting engineering firm that has been providing services to many public agencies and private clients for the past 31 years," Islam’s announcement read.

Maher Abdelqader was put on administrative leave a week after a Fox News Digital report of his post of several pictures with New York Governor Kathy Hochul. (Fox News Digital) "At AI Engineers, we believe in an absolute commitment and respect for all people regardless of color, creed, ethnicity, religion, national origin, or sex," the announcement continued. "We pride ourselves on our transparency and commitment to diversity in all our internal and external relationships whether they be clients, subconsultants, suppliers, or the community at large.

Please be assured that we will be taking appropriate action based upon the ongoing due diligence being conducted," it read. Islam said AIE "is fully cognizant of the anguish and dismay that such news has caused amongst some of our clients and employees alike" and that the company has "immediately placed the individual on administrative leave pending further internal investigation." Hochul is facing off against New York Republican Rep.
