Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy slams New York Gov. Kathy Hochul over city’s subway violence

Transport Minister Sean Duffy criticized on Wednesday New York Governor Cathy Hochol The Capital Transport Authority (MTA), accusing both safety risks in the safety of New York City.

“The MTA & Govkathyhochul continues to say that subfaces NYC is completely safe. Meanwhile, criminals continue to intimidate the innocent New York residents,” Davi wrote in a post about a news story separating the recent violence on the metro in New York City. “We are fighting to make mobility safe again.”

In December, a 57 -year -old woman was burned by illegal immigrants from Guamala in a terrible subway attack.

Less than a month later, on New Year’s Eve, a New York City was accused of trying to kill after he claimed that he had paid a 45 -year -old man on the metro paths.

In 2024, the metro felony attacks increased and murders doubled to 10, according to the previous Fox News Digital.

However, in general, the metro crime decreased by 5.4 %, according to NYPD.

Warm In March, he sent a message to MTA, noting that the New York City Transport Authority should reduce the crime, or will face federal financing discounts.

Dofi wrote in the letter: “The direction of violent crime, displacement and other threats to public safety in one of the most prominent metro systems in our nation is unacceptable.” “After years of soft policies on the crime, our department enters the regime.”

The letter requested a copy of the MTA data on fare evading, attacks on workers, attacks on customers, and police patrols, according to the previous Fox News Digital.

He also requested an explanation of how MTA, which is granted billions of dollars from the federal government, has also requested that taxpayers finance to address safety and security concerns.

Duffy wrote in the letter: “The passengers are sick and are tired of feeling that they should endanger their safety to reach work, go to school or travel throughout the city.” “We will continue to fight to ensure that their federal tax dollars are moving towards crime -free movement.”
