In a forceful op-ed, Rep. Ritchie Torres criticized New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, demanding the state end policies that release repeat offenders who commit violent crimes.
Torres highlighted rising subway homicides and high-profile cases, including a deadly rampage by an early-released offender. He urged a review of laws hindering prosecutors and called for closing loopholes in ghost gun regulations.
The congressman, who has hinted at a potential gubernatorial run, emphasized the need for immediate leadership to address public safety concerns.
