New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has deployed National Guard troops to secure state-run prisons amid a wildcat strike by corrections workers. Picketing and striking by corrections officers took place at around 30 state prisons as of Wednesday morning, union officials said. Hochul says National Guard troops are being deployed Wednesday, but she did not immediately specify where. "They've already been deployed and are ready to stabilize the situation," Hochul said of the National Guard soldiers, in a video address released Wednesday. "I am directing everyone involved in these unlawful strikes to stop these actions immediately. Legal action has already commenced to ensure compliance." National Guard soldiers in Humvees entered the grounds of Attica Correctional Facility, Spectrum News reported.
