December 15, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. — During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing this week, Chairman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY-02) highlighted the full restoration of $187 million in critical counterterrorism grant funding to New York. Garbarino emphasized the importance of continued federal support for the nation’s top terrorism target.
Chairman Garbarino referenced the Trump administration’s decision to restore funding through the State Homeland Security Grant Program after earlier proposed reductions, ensuring New York City and the surrounding region retain the resources necessary to protect critical infrastructure and strengthen emergency preparedness.
“As a proud New Yorker and Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, protecting New York’s security is a top priority,” Garbarino said. “I appreciate Secretary Noem’s engagement and President Trump’s decision to fully restore this funding. New York’s counterterrorism capabilities are essential not just for our state, but for our national homeland security mission.”
Garbarino reaffirmed that New York’s experience and leadership in counterterrorism and intelligence coordination continue to play a vital role in keeping communities across the country safe.
