Republicans Blast New Immigration Law After Foiled Capitol Terrorist Plot

State Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt reiterated Blakeman’s response in a statement on X following the attempted attack, also linking the incident to the new immigration law.

“The announcement regarding an ISIS-inspired terrorist plot targeting our state Capitol building is not only disturbing, but reinforces why law enforcement at all levels must communicate and work together for the safety and well-being of New Yorkers,” Ortt said.
