New York troopers deployed to restore order in crime-infested, prostitution-heavy Queens strip.
via Foxnews:
New York state troopers have been deployed to help clean up a crime-infested seedy strip in Queens, part of which encompasses “defund the police” advocate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district, where prostitution, illegal vendors and robberies are rampant.
Some residents compare it to a Third World country.
The troopers arrived as part of a multi-agency crackdown spearheaded by embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams called “Operation Restore Roosevelt,” which aims to crack down on miscreant behavior over the next 90 days and bring back law and order to the commercial strip, which one Democratic politician described as “having more brothels than bodegas.”
The operation covers a nearly two-mile stretch along Roosevelt Avenue in the migrant-heavy neighborhoods of Elmhurst, North Corona and Jackson Heights, which has become known as a red-light district where those described as scantily dressed migrant prostitutes solicit sex during all hours of the day and night.
