New York Governor and New York City Mayor have jointly called for the immediate release of $87 million in unpaid federal anti-terrorism funds, arguing the money was allocated to support security measures following past threats. The funds, approved by Congress, have remained unallocated despite the ongoing need for enhanced counterterrorism efforts in the state. Officials emphasize the urgency of addressing gaps in security infrastructure, particularly in high-risk areas. The demand highlights broader tensions over federal funding distribution for local safety initiatives.
