New York Governor Kathy Hochul authorized the deployment of 750 National Guard troops to patrol the city's subways following a surge in violent crimes in the subway system, which included gun-related incidents. The decision sparked a mix of reactions - some criticized the move as unnecessary and a political stunt, while others saw it as a vital step to address safety concerns. Critics included some NYPD officials, former commissioners, and news outlets questioning the appropriateness and effectiveness of the decision.

Hochul's move to involve the National Guard came amid escalating crime rates underground, including an incident where a woman had her feet amputated after being pushed onto the subway tracks in a separate attack. The governor's decision to deploy the National Guard for bag checks in the subway system turned into a controversial issue with polarizing opinions. Hochul defended her choice, emphasizing the need for public safety and crime prevention. Senator Tom Cotton criticized the New York Times for opposing his op-ed but supporting Hochul's decision to send troops into the subways. With conflicting views among media outlets and politicians, the deployment of the National Guard sparked intense debates regarding public safety, civil liberties, and the appropriate response to rising crime rates.
