DHS Rebukes Chuck Schumer over Comments About Mexican Navy Ship Crash
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused a hiring freeze of causing inadequate staffing at the U.S. Coast Guard's Vessel Traffic Services after a Mexican navy ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on a recent Sunday.
- Schumer implied that reductions implemented by the Trump administration's so-called Department of Government Efficiency might have played a role in the crash, but officials from DHS and the Coast Guard have denied any such link.
- The crash occurred in the East River during strong currents and a 10 mph wind gust where the ship lost propulsion, with the National Transportation Safety Board now investigating details expected to take several months.
- The Department of Homeland Security publicly challenged Schumer’s claims, stating that his allegations are incorrect, the Coast Guard has continued to receive necessary resources and was not subjected to hiring freezes, and that the incident was unrelated to staffing levels at Vessel Traffic Services.
- Schumer is pressing for clarity on whether policies under Trump and DOGE influenced water traffic management, highlighting the urgency of strengthening national security measures, safeguarding infrastructure, and ensuring public safety.
