Blakeman Leverages ICE Shooting to Press Hochul in NY Governor Battle
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a likely GOP candidate for New York governor, used his Albany appearance to attack Gov. Hochul on crime, taxes and child care while highlighting the Minneapolis killing of Renee Good by a federal ICE agent to frame immigration policy as a point of disagreement. He aligned with Donald Trump on withholding funds from sanctuary-city policies and signaled he would push tax cuts, aiming to replicate Lee Zeldin’s 2022 approach on affordability and safety, even as crime trends in New York have generally cooled. Hochul defended NY’s approach and cooperation with federal authorities, underscoring policy differences in the looming race.
