Law enforcement and Jewish organizations across the nation are on high alert after a neo-Nazi group proclaimed Saturday to be a 'National Day of Hate.'
and law enforcement agencies from across the region say they are increasing security efforts after chatter online that Saturday is being declared a "Day of Hate" by neo-Nazi groups.
"I'm tired as an American of all the gate and discourse that goes on, and I don't understand why it has to be that way," said Jason Shames, CEO of the Jewish Federation, Northern New Jersey. Shames' concern comes admits recent anti-Semitic attacks. Last month, the FBI arrested a 26-year-old man for throwing a flammable object at a synagogue in Bloomfield, New Jersey.In New York City, anti-gay incidents have raised concerns as well, with the NYPD arresting and charging a 30-year-old woman with 3 hate crimes for setting a Pride flag on fire at a Manhattan restaurant. Local law enforcement is asking the community to alert them of any hate-related incidents.
"I have directed @nyspolice & @NYSDHSESto closely monitor the safety of Jewish communities this Shabbat," New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a tweet. "While there are no credible threats to New Yorkers at this time, we will remain vigilant. My top priority is the safety of New Yorkers."BREAKING NEWS
