Why tf is the National Guard Occupying NYC Subways?

-- By ShianneWilliams

Intro

In March of this year, Governor Kathy Hochul of New York announced that she would deploy hundreds of National Guard members, state police, and Metropolitan Transportation Authority officers into the City's busiest subways. This move was merely step one of Hochul's "five-point plan" for "deterring crime" and making New Yorkers feel more safe on the subway. However, in a nation deeply affected by instances of police brutality and a pervasive sense of distrust towards law enforcement, it is unsurprising that many individuals do not perceive this legally questionable decision by the governor as a means of increasing safety.

How can she do this (legally)?
