Q&A

CM Krishnan questions CAIR on national vs. NYC hate crime data

New York City Council · Jun 23, 2026 · starts 1:48:10 · 1 min 25 sec

CM Krishnan asks CAIR to clarify the 130% increase timeframe and whether there is NYC-specific data. Gage confirms the figure covers 2020-2025 nationally and that CAIR's state-level data reflects the gap between official NYPD numbers and actual community reports, with detailed case files available for follow-up.

Shekar Krishnan

I do have a question.

Shekar Krishnan

Well, the time expired, but I do have a question.

Shekar Krishnan

You said something about, and I just wanted to get the year right, up 130% nationally between which years was that?

Member of the Public - Sophia Tobia Gage

Between the years 2020 and 2025.

Shekar Krishnan

Okay.

Shekar Krishnan

Any drill down for New York City itself?

Member of the Public - Sophia Tobia Gage

Say it one more time.

Shekar Krishnan

Any data that specifically deals towards New York City itself?

Shekar Krishnan

I know that's nationally, but.

Member of the Public - Sophia Tobia Gage

Yes, so Care New York represents not just New York City, but also New York State, so the data that we reflected in our Feeling the Heat report reflects the entire state.

Member of the Public - Sophia Tobia Gage

But in that report, sorry, give me one second.

Member of the Public - Sophia Tobia Gage

We have seen, yeah, I think so, sorry.

Member of the Public - Sophia Tobia Gage

I don't have the data specifically on the amount of reports, but that can be reflected in our larger, in our requests for assistance and case files and documents.
