New York Mayor Eric Adams on migrant crisis: We've created a 'pipeline of criminality'
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday that hundreds of National Guard members have been deployed to patrol the New York City subway system this holiday season.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Hochul confirmed that 750 National Guard members and 250 members of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Police were recently sent to guard New York City train stations.
"It's clear to me, as I've heard from many people, that the presence of the National Guard has made not just a physical difference, but a psychological difference in how they feel about safety," Hochul said. "When people see a person in uniform… even our National Guard, they feel more secure."
Hochul previously unveiled her five-point subway safety plan in March, when she deployed 750 members of the National Guard to assist the New York Police Department (NYPD) with bag searches at entrances to busy train stations.
