The NYPD and the New York City Council’s security team are monitoring threats made against Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán last month, according to authorities.
“We take violent threats against our members and staff very seriously and are uncompromising about taking any and all necessary actions to ensure they are safe,” said Mandela Jones, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams’ deputy chief of staff for communications. “The Council’s security officials work closely with city authorities to protect all members and employees and has taken steps to support the Office of Council Member Cabán in the face of troubling threats like we would with every member’s office.”
Jones added that violent threats against an elected official is unacceptable and “has no place in New York City.”
A police spokesperson told QNS that multiple voicemails were left
for Cabán at her office, located at 30-83 31 St., within the confines
of the 114th Precinct.
According to the spokesperson, the voicemails did not contain any threats to harm Cabán and her staff; however, they “did contain vulgar and violent language.”
There have been no arrests made and an investigation is ongoing. This incident is being classified as aggravated harassment, the spokesperson said.
“It is unfortunate that this has been disregarded, perpetuating division and undermining safe working conditions for a Council member and their staff without consideration for the people impacted, including their tens of thousands of constituents,” Jones said. “The overheated rhetoric needs to be immediately dialed down and de-escalated. We all have a responsibility to foster a climate that unequivocally discourages threats and promotes constructive dialogue – that includes every individual and institution with a voice. The public servants who dedicate themselves to serving our city deserve respect and safety, regardless of whether you may disagree with them.”
A spokesperson for Cabán’s office told QNS that City Council security (NYC Council has their own police force??) has discouraged Cabán’s team from speaking to the press regarding the voicemails. However, the spokesperson did say that Council security is monitoring the situation closely and Cabán’s office is following safety protocols.
“Our office reported the large volume of hostile, violent, and threatening voicemails and emails to Council security, who, given the intensity of the harassment campaign, determined that the situation warranted law enforcement involvement,” said Cabán’s spokesperson. “As an office, we take our cues on security protocols from Council security.”

Hopefully she gets voted out next year but I doubt it
She’s better be careful. If she keeps acting like a crybaby, people will think she’s a right wing nut.
@#2 TDS is real please seek help.
Anyone with half a brain knows that bail reform is not working.
Dose this make her a Libturd Karen ?
Asking for a friend....
Clown world ?.. you betcha!
Too bad that having half a brain doesn’t qualify as a legal means of prohibiting one to vote - Republicans would win in a landslide.
Dems howling this November Mid Term will soon resemble a looming root canal surgery.
I think I hear the little feets stamping! LOL...
By calling someone a name, people attempt to encase their opponent in a label deemed by society to be negative, minimizing them and whatever they were standing for. By doing so, they lose both the high ground and the argument: calling someone names is a sign that you are neither smart nor witty enough to defend yourself with a logical argument.
This is what happens when your parents, teachers, and university wrap you in bubble wrap and give you a participation trophy. All grade school kids should learn to not hand over the keys to your emotions to other people.
Victim Olympics!
She should switch careers so not to have to be in the public eye. If she can't handle it McDonald's is hiring and is a great way to start a new career path!
Being in the public eye is brutal, you gotta have a thick skin. I couldn’t do it!
Lock her up! Soros trash.
@people will think she’s a right wing nut.
Unlike her we know your are a general nut. Total creep.
Fished have more success calling 1-800 EAT-SHIT as calling that bunch of do nothing idiots
She’s a very sick woman
Never underestimate the stupidity of NY voters.
Vote Lee Zeldin • Governor Save New York
The no-bail Democrats have put everyone in NY's life at risk with their failed no bail policy.
Time to vote them out !
Meet the man that's financing good old Tiffany

He is also TA commie's sponsor.
Until these evil scum is not stopped from interfering via NGO-s in our daily life, voting will not make a difference.
The Global Crime Syndicate brought to us Covid, Climate Scam, Hysterectomies and Castration of kids, Open Streets and Tiffany. With the matching BioRobot, Ukraine money laundry and talking about nuclear war with little smirks on their faces.

People are waking up and are absolutely fed up with her insanity!
Leftoid activists must be working hard keeping the fraud no bail reform going.
OMG, such Blasphemy aganist her irrational Woke Commie Religion.
Defund the police. For her anyway
Can she cry as much as a whining Trumpanzee?
What a creep! A real moron like her will get many innocents killed or injured. Imagine trying to talk a gun-wielder into not robbing you.
Who is this woman? Where did she come from? Who is backing her? What agenda by her backers is she expected to follow and how does that contrast with what her community actually needs?
@Roger
The woman in an elected position representing the people in her district blatantly lied about threats coming from them. The only one who lost the argument and the high ground here is Caban.

Troll alert - Klaus van Schnitzel TA commie is here.
