A confrontation outside the mayor's residence on Saturday-and the arrest on federal terrorism charges of two alleged Muslim extremists-offered a vivid reminder of the ways in which perceptions of crime and public safety remain central to New Yorkers' sense of their city.

This year's gubernatorial election is shaping up as in part a choice between continued resistance to President Donald Trump's mass-deportation campaign, as Governor Kathy Hochul has vowed,
