Nassau County officials said Monday they have heightened security measures and increased police deployments in response to the escalating military conflict with Iran, citing concerns about potential retaliatory attacks, self-radicalized individuals and cyber threats.
Speaking March 2 at the Ceremonial Chamber in the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said the county began reviewing and expanding its security posture immediately after the conflict began.
“As we all know, we are engaged now in a military conflict with Iran,” Blakeman said. He added that he believed the federal government’s response was “an appropriate action to take” and that “Iran has been nothing but an irritant and a danger to America for a long, long time.”
Blakeman said Nassau County is home to residents of Iranian descent, some of whom, he said, have expressed
support for changes in their country of origin.
“They are now celebrating the liberation of a once great country that was taken over by a very brutal and dictatorial regime, and that is now come to an end, and I can say, on my own behalf, we are very grateful that that action was taken by President Trump,” Blakeman said.
In Nassau, he said, public safety remains the top priority.
“That is our number one mission, and we take that mission very seriously,” he said. “When there are extraordinary events that occur — whether it’s a mass gathering, a celebration or a situation where someone may have an ax to grind — we always take special precautions.”
Blakeman said he and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder have been in constant contact since the outbreak of hostilities, reviewing intelligence and determining how best to deploy additional resources.

Local, state and federal elected officials representing reacted to the bombing of key military targets and the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other government leaders on Saturday in what President Donald Trump said was a massive operation to destroy the country’s military capabilities and eliminate any threat that Iran will create nuclear weapons.
“We stand in firm support of the United States Armed Forces and the Israeli military as they take necessary, decisive action to defend our nations and restore stability to the Middle East,” Town of Hempstead Supervisor John Ferretti, a Republican, wrote in a Facebook post, adding that “a nuclear-armed Iran is an unacceptable, existential threat. Allowing this regime to obtain nuclear weapons would make the entire world far less safe.”
Tcan, described the operation as “targeted military action” after what he said was “continued threats against our forces and our allies.”
“America stands with our military,” Garbarino wrote in a Facebook post, “America stands with Israel. And America will always defend what is right.”
Gillen, a Democrat, called for the administration to follow the law and consult Congress on any major military action, which is required under the War Powers Act of 1973. “This is a serious moment and I am praying for the safety of our brave American forces,” she wrote on Facebook.
Ferretti and other South Shore elected officials described the Iranian government as the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism. Iran has repeatedly said its nuclear enrichment activities are entirely peaceful.
Long Island is home to more than 10,000 people of Iranian descent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, with roughly 9,600 in Nassau County.
U.S. Representatives Laura Gillen and Andrew Garbarino both argued that Iran should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons — but they differed in their characterizations of the United States’ attacks. Garbarino, a Republi -
The strikes came two days after the latest U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, on Feb. 26. Iran launched counterattacks, firing drones and missiles at Israel and strikes aimed at American military installations in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar. Iranian state media, citing the Red Crescent, said Saturday night that at least 200 people had been killed and more than 700 injured.
Three American service members were killed and five others were seriously wounded during the attacks, the U.S. military announced Sunday.
Gillen and Garbarino both extended their condolences to the service members who were killed. “Their courage and dedication to our nation will never be forgotten,” Gillen wrote. Garbarino described their sacrifice as “something we can never repay and should never forget.”

As director of noninvasive cardiology at Mount Sinai South Nassau, Dr. Pilar Stevens-Haynes has built a career centered on precision, compassion and the belief that medicine can be both life-saving and life-changing.
That sense of connection is what ultimately steered her toward cardiology. Born and raised in the Elmont/Valley Stream area, Stevens-Haynes discovered her love of science in high school, drawn to biology and fascinated by a senior-year anatomy and physiology elective.
Though she once envisioned herself as a surgeon, clinical rotations changed her mind. “I thought I would just love surgery,” she said. “But I actually found I loved speaking to patients. In surgery, your patients are unconscious.”
Instead she chose a field that allows her to combine long-term patient relationships with moments of dramatic intervention. While many areas of internal medicine focus on managing chronic illness, Stevens-Haynes noted that cardiology allows physicians to intervene in acute, life-threatening situations — heart attacks, heart failure or dangerous arrhythmias — and dramatically improve outcomes.
Throughout her career, she has also navigated the realities of being one of few women — and often the only woman of color — in the room. “You have to get very comfortable by being the one and only,” Stevens-Haynes said. Early on, she admitted, she was “very, very quiet and shy,” hesitant to draw attention to herself. Over time, however, she came to recognize the importance of representation.
“Patients will say how wonderful it is to see women physicians and to see people that look like them take care of them,” she said. “They trust me because I look like me.”
“In cardiology, you can treat someone and sometimes give them back the life they had before,” she said. “I find true joy in taking care of people over time and watching them heal.”
A graduate of SUNY Geneseo, Stevens-Haynes completed her medical training in the Mount Sinai system before joining South Nassau over a decade ago. Six years ago, she became the director of noninvasive cardiology.
Her role centers on cardiac imaging, from electrocardiograms and echocardiograms to multiple forms of stress testing. Four days a week she oversees the lab, ensuring that the facility meets national accreditation standards.
“The lab has to do what it says it’s going to do,” Stevens-Haynes said. “We have to perform the studies accurately and meet the standards that are set.”
Even in leadership, patient care remains central to her: The immediacy of cardiology continues to motivate her.
“I’ve got the best of both worlds,” she said. “I get to practice medicine, but I also get to do a little bit of curative medicine.”
Mentorship has become one of the most meaningful aspects of StevenHaynes’s work.
She recalled sitting down with a tearful young physician who worried that starting a family would jeopardize her medical career. Stevens-Haynes encouraged her to do both. That physician is now a cardiology fellow on Long Island.
“It’s important that women know they can have grand professional goals and personal goals — and achieve them,” she said.
Stevens-Haynes credits academic medicine with offering flexibility that has allowed her to balance professional growth with family life. StevensHaynes remains driven by the same passion that first led her into medicine, and by her belief that physicians can build meaningful careers without sacrificing the aspects of life that matter most.
“Even if it feels overwhelming or like an all-boys club, you can find your niche anywhere,” she said. “Chase your dreams. You don’t have to sacrifice.”
at a Texas bar that authorities believe may have been motivated by the overseas conflict. While that investigation remains ongoing, Blakeman said preliminary information suggests the attack may have been influenced by events in Iran.
“That brought especially to light the fact that there may be a lone wolf that could be motivated, or even a terrorist cell that could be activated,” he said. “Therefore, we will take extraordinary precautions to make sure that our community is safe.”
Ryder said the police department implemented an “all-hands-on-deck” response as soon as intelligence briefings were received.
Specialized units, including the Bureau of Special Operations, criminal intelligence teams and the Strategic Response Team, have been deployed. K-9 units, mounted patrols, drones and aviation assets are also in use. Ryder said officers conducted more than 1,500 visits to critical infrastructure sites over the weekend.
Police are coordinating daily with the New York City Police Department, Suffolk County Police Department, the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force, Ryder said, sharing intelligence across agencies.
tial cyberattacks linked to the conflict.
“Do not open suspicious emails,” Blakeman said. “If something doesn’t look right, don’t open it. We don’t want you to be the victim of a cyberattack or someone hacking your internet or social media accounts.”
With the Jewish holiday of Purim beginning Monday evening — a celebration that often includes large gatherings and costumes — police had already planned intensified patrols, Ryder said. In light of current events, the county is asking residents not to wear masks while traveling to and from houses of worship so officers can more easily identify individuals in public spaces.
Blakeman said additional patrols have been assigned to Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Sikh houses of worship and schools, noting that religious institutions have historically been targets of violence.
“It’s not just a cliché,” he said of the phrase “If you see something, say something.” “If you see someone that looks
Blakeman urged residents to assist law enforcement by reporting suspicious activity.
suspicious, if you see a package left somewhere, a suitcase or a backpack — anything that might be suspicious — please call 911 immediately.”
He also warned residents about poten-
“Whether it’s business, pleasure or family activities, we want you to go about your daily lives,” he said. “Our police department is out there. They’re experienced, they do a great job, and we’re very confident in their ability to make sure that we get through this situation in a way that is safe and secure for all.”
Officials said the heightened security posture will remain in place until law enforcement determines that extraordinary measures are no longer necessary.
social media by Trump on Saturday, and state TV in later confirmed it on Sunday. The death of the supreme leader, according to former Rep. Peter King, a Republican who represented South Shore communities including Wantagh and Seaford from 1993 to 2021 in Congress, was “outstanding news.”
Critics described Khamenei, 86, as a religious despot, but his supporters viewed him as someone who stood up to the U.S. and Israel. He repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel.
“A war is never over until it’s over but you couldn’t ask for a better first day,” King, a Seaford resident, wrote of the announcement that Khamenei had been killed.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the U.S.’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, described the actions of the Trump administration in Iran as “unnecessary, unjustified, and unconstitutional.” Representatives of the Islamic Center of Wantagh did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said in a video on Facebook that there would be an increased police presence across the county to ensure that there are “no violent acts against Jewish institutions — or any religious institution.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is
Farm Blvd. in Woodbury.
By ROKSANA AMID ramid@liherald.com
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is renting office space in Woodbury for what could be dozens of agency attorneys, a move that is drawing concern from immigration advocates and prompting calls for transparency from local officials.
Last month, ICE began leasing offices in a four-story building at 88 Froehlich Farm Blvd., according to Craig J. Padover, president of the Hauppaugebased Aresco Management, which owns the property. The space, Padover said, is being used for legal offices, but he did not confirm the size or extent of the lease, nor could he verify how many ICE attorneys would ultimately work there.
He added that the space would not be used to house detained immigrants.
The expansion comes as controversy intensifies over President Trump’s deportation campaign. ICE received nearly $80 billion in funding through Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” passed last July, increasing the number of agents from roughly 10,000 to 22,000 this year, making it the largest-funded federal law enforcement agency.
ICE already maintains a presence at the federal courthouse in Central Islip and at the Nassau County Correctional Center in East Meadow, where detained migrants are housed. Agents covering Long Island are based primarily in New York City offices.
“One of the most important things to remember is that the Department of Homeland Security and [Secretary] Kristi Noem has not been transparent about what’s going on,” Sylvia Livits-Ayass, a partner at Livits Ayass Baskin PLLC and the immigration chair of the Nassau County Bar Association, said.
In Central Islip, marked and unmarked vans have been seen near district courts. Attorneys from ICE’s Office of the Principal Legal Advisor represent the Department of Homeland Security in

immigration-removal proceedings, and can facilitate warrants and enforcement actions.
“My guess is that there will be a rampup in ICE presence in Nassau and Suffolk, and they’re probably going to try and facilitate these enforcement actions through warrants and by supporting these operations,” Livits-Ayass said, emphasizing that that remains speculation.
She explained that there are different types of warrants. An administrative warrant is not reviewed by a federal judge, and is often signed by an ICE officer or agency official. A judicial warrant, by contrast, must be signed by a U.S. District Court judge and typically identifies the court, the name and birth date of the subject of the warrant, and the address to be searched.
“Just because they have a warrant doesn’t mean they can go wherever they want,” Livits-Ayass said.
Because immigration court for downstate New York is at Federal Plaza in Manhattan, she added, the Woodbury lease is surprising. She suggested that it could signal expanded enforcement operations, but also noted that it could simply be cost-effective for ICE to house its attorneys on Long Island. “The bottom line is we don’t know,” she said, “because they’re not telling anybody.”
In a letter to Noem, Rep. Tom Suozzi wrote that he was “seeking transparency,” and asked if the lease was accurate and how ICE has engaged with local governments.
In a statement to the Herald, Suozzi wrote, “Expanding deportation operations in safe communities creates fear and undermines trust in local enforcement, and would be a bad policy. Our focus should be on removing dangerous criminals while protecting families who contribute to our local economy and way of life.”
ICE offices in New York City did not respond to the Herald’s request for comment.
