Malliotakis Slams Schumer, Jeffries, Hochul and Mamdani After Illegal Immigrant Subway Attack

(NEW YORK, NY) — Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis released the following statement:

“The individual accused of pushing two innocent people, including an 83-year-old veteran onto subway tracks had previously been deported four times, had 15 prior arrests, and was residing in a New York City shelter at taxpayer expense. This is who Zohran Mamdani, Kathy Hochul, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries have gone out of their way to protect. Schumer and Jeffries continue to hold our homeland security and the paychecks of our dedicated Coast Guard and TSA workers hostage in an attempt to dismantle U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Meanwhile on the local level, Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Mamdani continue to support policies like bail reform and sanctuary laws that would release illegal immigrants with lengthy criminal records back onto our streets instead of keeping them in jail or turning them over to ICE.

This is exactly why the positions taken by Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and their local allies are so dangerous. New Yorkers should not be forced to house and protect foreign criminals with lengthy criminal records. They should immediately stop putting politics above public safety.”
