Governor Hochul Makes an Announcement

Published | Video Starts at 25:37

Yes, I will help you go after the criminals. I've said that from day one. I don't want them here. And people who committed crimes and served times in jail, send them back home. 1400 [people who committed crimes and served time in jail] we've already sent thus far [back home]. So I will say this. Let's get back to the tariffs. I'm not viewing this through a political lens. I take on this fight because it is an affordability issue and that is what I've been focused on for years. (25:37–25:38)
