Gillibrand Statement On Car Ramming Into Chabad Headquarters

Jan 29, 2026
Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand made the following statement regarding the attack on Wednesday night when a car rammed into the headquarters of the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidic Jewish movement in Crown Heights, Brooklyn:
“I am horrified by the violent scenes from Brooklyn on Wednesday evening, when a car repeatedly rammed into the Chabad Headquarters,” said Senator Gillibrand. “This blatant act of antisemitism is not only an attack on this one building, but an attack on Jewish people across New York and the world. Chabad headquarters is a faith home for so many, and this is a deeply disturbing act of violence. We must root out antisemitism and hatred in all forms. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Chabad Lubavitch and Jewish community.”
