| Long Island set to create fearsome 'surveillance border' with NYC over fears woke new mayor-elect will turn Big Apple into crime free-for-all |
| 2025-11-29 |
| [DM] A Long Island county has plans for increased security measures on its border with New York City following Zohran Mamdani's mayoral win. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told Fox News he is 'doing everything necessary to make sure Nassau County is safe.' He announced plans to bolster the police force and increase collaboration with ICE which he says will protect residents from crime. 'We are installing technology along the border to New York City that will read license plates, have facial recognition that will have video cameras,' he told Fox. Nassau County shares a border with the Big Apple borough of Queens. An estimated 300,000 Long Island residents make the commute to New York City everyday. 'This new technology will enhance our ability to read license plates, improve video monitoring, and strengthen our overall security posture,' he wrote on social media. 'Nassau County will always take every measure necessary to keep our communities safe.' Blakeman told the outlet that Mamdani 'talks like he's pro-criminal' and has even called the new mayor 'anti-American'. Mamdani has promoted pro-immigrant policies and even previously vowed to cut funding from the NYPD. He has since walked back on that statement and recently decided to keep on police Commissioner Jessica Tisch from the Adam's administration. Blakeman vowed to tap into the Nassau County police force as a direct response to Mamdani's 'radical' policies. 'With the incoming mayor’s radical policies, we’re taking proactive steps to protect our residents and maintain law and order,' Blakeman said in a social media post. The Long Island county was declared the safest county in the country by US News & World Report in 2024. The county executive is an avid Trump supporter and has critiqued Mamdani's role as mayor even before he was elected this November. |
