Trump border czar blasts NY governor for touting subway safety hours after horrific murder: 'Shame on you'
Fox News
Incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan blasted New York Gov. Kathy Hochul after an illegal immigrant allegedly ignited a subway passenger's clothing, leaving her to burn to death.
In an X post on Sunday, approximately eight hours after the incident, Hochul claimed that crime has decreased on NYC subways since she deployed the National Guard to mitigate the issue earlier this year. Hochul sent 750 National Guard members to the subways last week in an effort to keep holiday crime in check. Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
"In March, I took action to make our subways safer for the millions of people who take the trains each day," Hochul's post read. "Since deploying the @NationalGuardNY to support @NYPDnews and @MTA safety efforts and adding cameras to all subway cars, crime is going down, and ridership is going up," she wrote.
