Security alert at U.S mosques on Muslim day of worship after New Zealand attack
Security has been increased for Friday prayers at mosques in the U.S., after a shooting at two mosques in New Zealand.
She said, "It has no place in New Zealand. Many of those affected will be members of our migrant communities. New Zealand is their home—they are us.” The New York Police Department told Newsweek in a statement: “The NYPD, in conjunction with our law enforcement partners, is closely monitoring events in New Zealand, and out of an abundance of caution is assessing security at locations around the city.”
Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged non-Muslims to “check in” with worshippers on Friday. “Morning is Jummah, the weekly day of worship for our community of Muslim friends and loved ones,” she tweeted. “No gift of any sort needed. Your solidarity is what's most important,” he said. “Dress modestly as you would for any house of worship.”
