The Nassau County legislature plans to pass a law banning demonstrators from hiding their identities with masks to tackle rising antisemitism and hate crimes - the first local government to do so.
"Talk is cheap. What I'm asking for is action. We are going after the thugs who are terrorizing the Jewish community. I'm sick and tired of it," said Nassau Legislator Mazi Pilip.
Pilip said she hoped Nassau's law - expected to be approved in two weeks - will "put pressure" on Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state legislature and Mayor Eric Adams and the Council - to follow suit.
"We do not cover our faces. We do not hide," she said.
