Trump will be the featured speaker at the dinner.

NBC New York reports:

A large security detail, including a huge tent, was seen being set up outside King of Knockouts barbershop in Castle Hill.

A significant law enforcement presence also was evident at the scene. Ahead of Trump’s arrival, a protester was taken into custody for transgressing the barricades.

Trump is in New York City for Thursday night’s Al Smith charity dinner, where he will be the featured speaker. Presidential candidates typically attend the annual event.

Vice President Kamala Harris has said she will skip it to campaign. A recorded message from her will play instead.

WATCH:

Trump will hold a massive rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden later this month.

The Madison Square Garden event is scheduled for Sunday, October 27th, nine days before the presidential election.

From the Trump campaign:

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks at a rally in New York, New York on Sunday, October 27, 2024, at 5:00PM EDT.

New York is reeling from the harmful effects of the dangerously liberal policies championed by Kamala Harris and Democrats like Eric Adams. Since Kamala took office, the average New York household has been forced to spend an additional $28,537, including $4,282 more on food, $4,918 more on shelter, $3,992 more on energy, and $8,912 more on transportation. These disastrous economic policies are draining the bank accounts of hardworking New Yorkers.

Additionally, thanks to Kamala’s reckless open-border policies, over 210,000 migrants have flooded into New York City since the Spring of 2022, draining vital government resources and overwhelming the city.

The consequences are staggering. The influx of illegal migrants is expected to cost the city a shocking $10 billion, and it’s not just the financial burden—crime is spiraling out of control. According to local police officers, illegal immigrants are responsible for about 75 percent of arrests in midtown Manhattan.

Last month, a news report sounded alarms after an illegal Venezuelan migrant with suspected gang ties allegedly committed 22 crimes in just six months, yet he still hasn’t been deported. This is the chaos Harris has unleashed on New Yorkers.

President Trump’s message to New York City is simple and built on his winning record: If you want to return to the strongest economy in over 60 years, rising wages, quality jobs, strong borders, and safer neighborhoods, then vote for the Trump-Vance ticket.
