Hochul: Venezuelan operation a 'flagrant abuse of power'

Gov. Kathy Hochul in a posting on X called the Trump administration's actions in Venezuela a "flagrant abuse of power by acting without congressional approval."

She noted that "New York is home to a vibrant Venezuelan community, and I stand with families here and abroad in their hopes for a better, more stable future."

Hochul wrote that there "are no credible threats to New York at this time," but that "State Police are coordinating with our partners in law enforcement to monitor the situation and keep New Yorkers safe."
