Governor Kathy Hochul announced that, after opposing proposed cuts, New York will have $187 million in law enforcement and counterterrorism funding restored following President Trump’s reversal. Hochul said the restored funds will support police, first responders, and public safety efforts statewide, ensuring communities have the resources needed to keep families safe and secure. This marks a significant win for New Yorkers and public safety.
Statement From Governor Kathy Hochul
“From the moment these devastating cuts were announced, I made it clear that New York would not stand by while our law enforcement and counterterrorism operations were defunded.
I’m glad President Trump heard our call and reversed course, ensuring our state has the resources necessary to support law enforcement and keep our families safe.
“Because of our efforts, $187 million in critical funding will be restored — a victory for public safety and for every New Yorker who depends on our brave law enforcement and first responders to keep our state secure.”
