Gov. Hochul says she is deploying 10 state police investigators to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force due to the surge in hate crimes and harassment in the wake of Hamas’ deadly terror attack in Israel.
The move by the governor, which includes an additional $2.5 million in funding for New York State Police, is in response to an increase in reported anti-Semitic and Islamophobic incidents as the month long Israel-Hamas war rages on.
