00:00New York City is quietly preparing for a scenario which few had anticipated.

00:13A potential federal takeover orchestrated by US President Donald Trump.

00:18According to Politico, Governor Kathy Hochul has established a virtual war room to plan for any federal intervention,

00:26including the possible deployment of the National Guard or other federal agents.

00:32For weeks, top elected officials and civic leaders across New York have been meeting behind the scenes.

00:38Their mission is to prevent, delay or manage a potential federal incursion.

00:44New York's Homeland Security and Emergency Services Director, Jackie Bray,

00:48who is also leading the preparations on Hochul's behalf, said,

00:53The goal is to prevent, and if we can't prevent, then hopefully we can delay.

00:58And if something happens, we then have to manage.

01:02All three scenarios have real planning behind them.

01:06Reports suggest that officials have been closely watching Trump's use of the National Guard,

01:12ICE agents and uniformed military in other cities.

01:16Hochul's concern is that Mamdani's election as New York City mayor

01:20could provide an opening for federal intervention in the president's hometown.

01:27Last month, Hochul convened a broad group of activist and labor organizations,

01:31including the ACLU, SEIU and Indivisible, at her Manhattan office.

01:36She urged them to work constructively with city and state officials

01:40to avoid the type of chaos that could give Trump a pretext to send in troops.

01:45Hochul assured the groups that any protests would be protected under state and city law.

01:52But she emphasized the importance of maintaining order.

01:55In response, the organizations pledged to help manage activist actions

02:00and prevent scenarios that could escalate into violence.

02:05The governor is also bringing clergy and veterans into the conversation.

02:10Repisher Pat Ryan, an upstate New York Democrat and Army veteran involved in the planning said,

02:17Those who have served understand how deeply wrong and unconstitutional it is

02:22to deploy troops against U.S. citizens.

02:26We want to make sure New Yorkers hear from those who have served.

02:31Hochul's team has coordinated closely with city law enforcement,

02:35including police commissioner Jessica Tish.

02:38Tish has publicly opposed militarization of the streets

02:42and reassured New Yorkers that the city's police are ready.

02:46Business leaders are also being engaged to form a united front.

02:51Officials hope that showing civic and economic stakeholders aligned against federal intervention

02:56will strengthen New York's position without a direct confrontation.

03:01While Trump has threatened to reduce federal funding to New York,

03:06he has not yet escalated deployments in the city.

03:09Officials say they are preparing not only for action but also for the public relations battle,

03:14showing New Yorkers that their city is safe, stable and fully capable of managing its own affairs.

03:20With careful planning, broad coalition building and daily coordination from Albany to City Hall,

03:26New York is quietly readying itself for the next chapter.

03:30See you in the next chapter.
