Now, as for what Hochul is offering, there will be a 90-day suspension to some provisions in the HALT Act, a commitment toward ending these sometimes days-long work shifts for officers, and bumped up overtime pay. Hochul also said that she'll stop her lawsuit against officers who've returned to work.

She said she was in the process of having hundreds of officers arrested for striking, saying that they were in violation of the Taylor Act.

Have we heard from officers or public officials about it? Yeah, we have. I'll start with the officers. The Daily Wire has spoken to numerous sources and officers from inside the New York prison system, and they've told us that they do not like this deal and that a lot more people would be continuing this strike if Hochul had not gone after their health insurance coverage.

As we reported last week, Hochul canceled insurance for about 5,300 officers and their dependents. That sparked a lot of reports of children, pregnant wives, and other dependents battling cancer and other diseases being left without coverage. In one case, the wife of an officer who was out on approved time off, not part of this strike, was unable to get her chemo treatment.

Other officers who were out on approved time off also say they had their insurance pulled. Now, it was that move specifically from Hochul that garnered the attention of Republican Representative Nick Langworthy. Last week, he called for a federal investigation by the U.S.

He noted that New York is simultaneously using taxpayer money to, quote, provide free housing, clothing, food, education and health care to illegal immigrants. Now, how are they manning the prisons? Are they still bringing in the National Guard? Yeah, so National Guard members are still in prisons today, and there's no end date on that.

Hochul activated thousands of guardsmen on day two of the strike, and their inclusion on this has been controversial from the start. In some cases, they've been sleeping in gyms, and members have leaked photos of really rough conditions.

New York State Senator Rob Ortt has expressed concern about their safety, specifically saying that these guardsmen are walking among criminals without any proper training. Other Republican lawmakers have expressed similar concerns, and there have been questions about the guardsman's compensation.

State Senator Daniel Stack has said that these members were activated on state orders by Hochul, so they're also ineligible for care from the VA if they were to get injured. So all around, not a great situation. Right, and no easy resolution.

Kennedy Jr., though it's not clear if he issued the order.
