The New York Police Department will not attend President Trump's major law enforcement and immigration policy speech in Long Island, N.Y. on Friday, where he plans to lay out the administration's plan to defeat the MS-13 gang.
We have a lot to do, a lot of work to do in New York City, said Police Commissioner James ONeill on Friday.
The commissioner's jurisdiction of New York does not extend to all of Long Island, where the meeting on gang violence is taking place. It is not clear if the NYPD would have been expected to attend the event.
New York is a sanctuary city, and Trump's speech is expected to take a hard line on the link between immigration enforcement and the rise of gang-related crime.

(53,876 posts)1. Queens County and Kings County (Brooklyn), both part of NYC are on Long Island but...
but Nassau County and Suffolk County are the two counties that are referred to as Long Island.
Nassau borders Queens on it's eastern border and Suffolk borders Nassau on the east and goes all the way out to Montauk Point.
Long Island is some 125 miles long so NYC police would not be be expected to attend an event way out east in Suffolk County except as observers.
