In Corona, community advocates, including former State Sen. Hiram Monserrate, have rallied to demand federal intervention to address rising crime and homelessness along Roosevelt Avenue. They point out the negative impact on local businesses and safety, citing a letter sent to Trump border czar Tom Homan asking for urgent assistance. With growing safety concerns, including reported assaults, they describe a community under siege, emphasizing that their quality of life has significantly deteriorated over the past year and a half.
The situation here in Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst is outrageous. Over the past seven months, our community has risen to confront a wave of lawlessness.
Our quality of life has been eviscerated. Roosevelt Avenue has been under criminal siege, with a number of crime entities taking control of the thoroughfare.
