FBI’s New York boss puts gangs on notice in AOC’s crime-riddled 'red-light' district

“Due to organized crime, our city has transformed into the Walmart of the illegal sex trade in New York City, providing a refuge for criminal activities,” Monserrate, a former police officer, expressed. He remembered the area as a center for criminal activity during the 1990s until the NYPD’s intervention, but he noted that the current level of crime is unlike anything seen before.

“We are open to the extensive involvement of the FBI in probing and eliminating the cartels and street gangs that have caused turmoil here… It is the only feasible path toward a permanent solution that will ensure safety and bring stability.”

Meng also welcomed the news and said she has pressed for more federal resources.

“These initiatives involve prosecuting human trafficking, tackling violent crimes and gangs, and increasing funding for state and local police departments,” Meng shared with Fox News Digital.

“Furthermore, I am advocating for federal funds to back local projects, including a request for a mobile command center. As I continually emphasize, ensuring public safety and a high quality of life should be our highest priority.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s office did not respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
