Gov. Hochul Demands Trump Administration Restore $87 Million in Counterterrorism Funding to New York
- On Tuesday, Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani demanded the federal government release $87 million in withheld counterterrorism funding, warning the shortfall threatens bomb squads and emergency management operations.
- State officials claim the administration broke a promise to reverse a previous $187 million funding reduction after President Donald Trump publicly asserted he had reversed the cuts in October 2025, yet $87 million remains outstanding.
- With the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaching in 10 days, Mamdani argued the funding supports 12 bomb squads and essential communications equipment, saying the government is reneging on a "sacred obligation" to prevent terror attacks.
- A Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesperson disputed the claims, accusing Governor Hochul of "manufacturing a funding crisis" while stating New York has more than $300 million in unspent federal homeland security funding available.
- The funding dispute coincides with a separate clash over immigration, as DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin touted more than 2,000 immigration arrests during a monthlong enforcement operation and criticized New York's sanctuary policies.
