New York City authorities have begun preparations for the possible deployment of U.S. National Guard troops to the city. This is reported by the newspaper Politico, citing sources.

"The goal is to prevent, and if we can't prevent, then hopefully we can delay," Jackie Bray, director of the state's Homeland Security and Emergency Management Service, said in an article published on November 6.

The article notes that the governor of the state, Katie Hokul, is alarmed by the possible actions of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, after the election of Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

According to the interim results, more than 50% of voters voted for him.

Earlier in the day, Mamdani said that the NYPD would not cooperate with the U.S. Immigration Service (ICE). He promised that he would continue to defend the interests of the city's residents.

On September 19, Trump noted that he was considering plans to deploy the National Guard in New York to combat the high crime rate.

On November 3, he announced that he could limit federal funding for New York if the Democratic candidate Mamdani wins the mayoral election. Later, on November 5, the head of the White House called Mamdani's victory in the elections a loss of US sovereignty.
