Kathy Hochul: “When there are assaults on LGBTQ+ rights all across America, New York will not sit on the sidelines.”

I feel very confident in our security, and we're so happy to welcome the eyes of the world.

I'm grateful to the FBI for leading this investigation and to the New York State Police for their work to apprehend this dangerous individual.

Because we need local cops hunting down criminals, not kindergartners. Breaking up drug rings, not breaking up families. Arresting gun runners, not grandmas.

It has made all of us so proud to be New Yorkers, proud to be Americans.
