(NEW YORK, NY) - Today, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis joined New York City veterans at Brooklyn’s U.S. Army Garrison–Fort Hamilton and Staten Island’s U.S. Coast Guard–Sector New York to call on Democratic members of the U.S. Senate including New York’s own Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand to pass a clean continuing resolution that will reopen the federal government, ensure servicemembers receive their paychecks on time, and end the unnecessary pain this shutdown is inflicting on families, small businesses, and the economy.
Like millions of Americans, I’m deeply frustrated by this unnecessary government shutdown that was easily avoidable. It’s hurting families, small businesses, and service members across the nation, which is why I voted for a clean extension of existing funding levels that have previously passed both the House and the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support.
(NEW YORK, NY) – Today, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) released the following statement:
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - President Donald Trump announced on Friday afternoon that he has reversed the cuts to counterterrorism efforts in New York.
STATEWIDE — U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, the only Republican in Brooklyn’s Congressional delegation, stated that she intervened after cuts to counterterrorism funding.
The Trump administration is reinstating $187 million in counterterrorism funding grants to New York following outcry from the NYPD and a direct appeal from Gov. Kathy Hochul.
A Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesperson confirmed Friday that the White House was reversing the cuts to funds supporting bomb squads, patrols around sensitive targets like houses of worship, intelligence analysts and tech like radiation detectors to monitor for explosives.
The Trump administration will restore $187 million in cuts it had made to law enforcement funding, which would have devastated New York’s intelligence and counterterrorism operations, following a bipartisan push to reinstate the funds.
(NEW YORK, NY) – Today, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) released the following statement:
"New York remains the nation’s top terror target, and cutting this funding was never acceptable. I spoke with President Trump on Wednesday, and within 48 hours this critical funding was fully restored, supporting the NYPD’s counterterrorism initiatives including intelligence gathering, bomb squad operations, surveillance cameras, officer training, and specialized equipment.
The White House will reverse the Department of Homeland Security’s cut of $187 million in counterterrorism funding for New York’s law enforcement, Gov. Kathy Hochul confirmed Friday.
Hochul hailed the reversal as 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.”
“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,” Hochul said in a statement.
