New York Governor Kathy Hochul has called on the Trump administration to reinstate $87 million in federal counterterrorism funding that was previously allocated to the state. The funds, which were part of a broader security initiative, were reportedly withheld or redirected, leaving local law enforcement and intelligence agencies facing potential gaps in resources. Hochul’s demand underscores ongoing tensions between state officials and the federal government over homeland security priorities. The dispute highlights broader concerns about how counterterrorism efforts are being managed at the national level.
