Yonkers Police Commissioner John Mueller told “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday that he has instructed his department to halt any enforcement activity in New York City out of concern over a recently enacted “reckless and irresponsible” chokehold ban, which places limitations on the ways in which arrests can be made. Officials from two other police departments overseeing the region that neighbors New York City, including Westchester County Police, which is near Yonkers just north of the city, and Suffolk County Police, which is located on Long Island, also implemented similar orders. On Friday, Mueller announced he, with support from the mayor, was ordering the department's police officers to discontinue any law enforcement activity in New York City.
