New York Governor Kathy Hochul has expressed openness to considering the deportation of a group of migrants who recently attacked two NYPD officers in Times Square. Governor Hochul has emphasized her dissatisfaction with the attackers being released on bail and remaining in the city. While she has not made any promises, she believes exploring the possibility of deporting these individuals is warranted.
The incident involved a group of migrants assaulting two law enforcement officers near Times Square. Governor Hochul firmly stated that it is unacceptable for police officers to be subjected to physical assault under any circumstances. She expressed concern about the attackers' immigration status, stating that if someone commits a crime against a police officer in New York State and is not legally present, it is definitely worth investigating the potential for deportation.
