New York Quietly Preparing Against Trumps Takeover
November 6, 2025 at 8:02 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
A wide range of New Yorks most prominent civic leaders have for weeks been meeting behind the scenes to plan for the possibility of Trump sending in the National Guard or any other federal agents into New York City, according to multiple top elected officials.
Alarmed at what Trump may do in response to Zohran Mamdanis election as New York City mayor, Gov. Kathy Hochul has devised a virtual war room and convened a series of conversations with law enforcement, business officials and activist groups to stop or at least mitigate any federal incursion. More meetings are being scheduled, including with New Yorks leading clergy and veterans groups, some of whom will be gathering around Veterans Day next week.

(3,424 posts)permission, and not by local request is not a takeover? In the way it's being practiced by the federal government right now, it would certainly be an incursion and a violation of local sovereignty. Maybe it doesn't meet YOUR definition of a takeover, but it is certainly worth preparation by the local government.
