NY Leaders Blast Trump for Withholding Critical Counterterrorism Funds
TL;DR Summary
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani press a demand for the Trump administration to release $87 million in congressionally allocated counterterrorism funding, stressing its necessity for certified bomb squads, the NYPD, FDNY, and overall emergency preparedness. They reject Trump's safety justification and push back on the idea that undocumented migrants are driving crime, noting many ICE detainees have no criminal history. Withholding the funds, they warn, compromises daily safety across New York.
