"National Guard Deployed to NYC Subways to Combat Violent Crime Wave"
TL;DR Summary
New York Governor Kathy Hochul plans to deploy 750 National Guard members to assist the NYPD in conducting bag searches at subway entrances following a series of high-profile crimes. This move is part of a larger effort to address crime in the subway, including legislative proposals and increased police presence. While crime has dropped in New York City, rare violent incidents have put residents on edge. The plan has drawn criticism from civil liberties advocates who view it as an overreaction, and questions remain about the effectiveness of random bag checks in a subway system serving over 3 million riders daily.
