New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to deploy 750 members of the National Guard and 250 state troopers to assist city police in patrolling New York City's subway system following a series of high-profile crimes.

The Details: Hochul's decision is part of a five-point plan to increase safety in the subway system, which includes a legislative proposal to ban people convicted of assaulting a subway passenger from using the trains for three years and the installation of cameras in conductor cabins.

Key Quotes: Announcing the decision, Hochul stated, “No one heading to their job or to visit family or to go to a doctor appointment should worry that the person sitting next to them possesses a deadly weapon … For people who are thinking about bringing a gun or knife on the subway, at least this creates a deterrent effect.” Newsweek (Center bias) quoted Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, calling the deployment “another unfortunate example of policymaking through overreaction and overreach.”

How The Media Covered It: Newsweek highlighted the “sharp criticism” and concerns regarding the deployment from the New York Civil Liberties Union, a former NYPD deputy commissioner, and a New York commuter advocacy group. Fox News (Right bias) detailed recent violent crimes in the city. New York Daily News (Left bias) also detailed these crimes while noting that the new measures “fall well short of the body scans and pat downs of airport-level security.” This summary was developed with the help of AllSides' AI technology.

The New York governor's plan to send hundreds of National Guard members to patrol New York City's subway system has drawn sharp criticism.

Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday that she would deploy 750 members of the National Guard and 250 state troopers, along with officers from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, to assist city police with bag searches.

It follows a series of high-profile crimes on city trains in recent years, including an attack last week on a train conductor, who was slashed in the neck by an unknown assailant.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is sending in the state National Guard to New York City to help police curb a surge in crime in the city’s subways. 

Announcing a five-point plan on Wednesday, the Democratic governor said she was deploying 750 members of the National Guard to the subways to assist the New York Police Department with bag searches at entrances to busy train stations.
