New York governor Kathy Hochul is exploring whether to ban facemasks on the subway system following a slew of antisemitic threats from keffiyeh-wearing protesters.
Hochul, 65, said that she began discussing the potential mask crackdown with New York City Mayor, Eric Adams, 63, and other state lawmakers on Thursday at the state Capitol. The bill is intended inhibit those committing antisemitic acts from shielding their identities.
