In this case I'm thinking like a legislator.
Do you want it to be illegal to throw an all white or all black party? No one does.  So let's let this go.

No, of course it's not illegal, and shouldn't be, but it looks really bad to throw an intentionally segregated party.   Especially for a mayor of a major city who should know better.  

If a white mayor threw a party and said, "This is for white city council people only," what would you say about that?  It's the SAME THING.

It's notable that in the year 2023, racial segregation is being espoused by people on the left as much as by people on the far right.
