Duffy, Nadler Clash Over NYC Subway Crime Statistics
A heated exchange took place during a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing between Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler over the safety of New York City's subway system and the accuracy of crime data. Nadler accused Duffy of misrepresenting crime statistics, citing Metropolitan Transportation Authority data showing a decline in major subway crimes by 3% since last year and 8% since 2019. In contrast, Duffy claimed assaults in the subway have increased by over 60% since 2019, referencing high-profile violent incidents, including a fatal subway arson involving an undocumented immigrant. The confrontation escalated as both accused each other of lying regarding subway safety and crime figures, with Duffy urging Nadler to focus on making subways safe rather than disputing facts. The debate highlighted broader political tensions surrounding congestion pricing policies and public transit safety concerns in New York City. This clash also reflected differing perspectives on public safety, transit funding, and urban policy under the current administration.
