Signing an executive order, Gov. Kathy Hochul will be requiring that every county and New York City develop plans to identify and confront threats of domestic terrorism, including racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists. These plans must be submitted by the end of the year.
"Does anyone think this is a gun? Our laws don't," Hochul said, holding up a large gun.
It will also require that two new units, one within the State Police and the other within the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, use social media to track and prevent violent extremism."The truth is the most serious threat we face as a nation is from within," Hochul said. "Not from the Russians or from people elsewhere. It's white supremacism, it's white nationalism.
"These social media platforms have to take responsibility," Hochul said. "They must be more vigilant in monitoring the content and they must be held accountable for favoring engagement over public safety.", which prevents people who show signs of being a threat to either themselves or others from either buying or having a firearm.
