Statement from Assemblyman Brian Maher
August 21, 2026
“Thank you to the coordinated efforts of our federal, state and local law enforcement authorities for their hard work in foiling this alleged plot and for their continued vigilance in keeping New Yorkers safe.
This is also an important reminder that protecting our communities is a shared responsibility. We must all remain vigilant and aware of what is happening around us. If you see something that doesn’t look right, say something. Reporting suspicious activity can help law enforcement act before a potential threat becomes a tragedy.
If you observe or become aware of suspicious activity that should be reported, you may contact the New York State Terrorism Tips Hotline at 1-866-SAFE-NYS (1-866-723-3697).”
