Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul

“Following the U.S. military operations in Iran overnight, we are taking precautionary steps to protect New Yorkers. State Police are increasing their presence at religious, diplomatic, and cultural sites statewide in coordination with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners. Additionally, in advance of the Jewish holiday of Purim, State Police remain alert and have already begun outreach to religious organizations to offer support.

“While there have been no specific, credible threats to New York identified, we continue to monitor online activity for any potential threats, and we encourage New Yorkers to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity.”

Because there is absolutely no reason to have any confidence in the Federal agencies at this point.

The state the FBI and CiA are in, they are definitely not able to recognize a credible threat, let alone protect Americans out side of the idiots Nazis in charge.

Those once useful organizations are now too busy chasing down liberals, immigrants, and people who hate pedo Trump while hiding Epstein files to do anything of real value.
