Senator Schumer Announces $400 Million Boost for Security at Places of Worship Amid Rising Tensions

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York has announced a significant increase in federal funds aimed at enhancing security measures at places of worship across the United States. An additional $400 million is now available to help religious institutions bolster their security infrastructure, in response to rising tensions and a recent spike in bias crimes against religious communities.

This financial boost comes in the wake of troubling incidents, such as the harassment at the Islamic Center of Melville earlier this year, where a man was charged with disturbing the peace. . .
