The Mayor of Irvington, the Board of Trustees, and Chief of Police Frank Pignatelli strongly condemn the antisemitic message written in the Metro-North train station tunnel, a space used daily by our residents and commuters. We unequivocally denounce this hateful act in the strongest possible terms and want our Jewish community and all residents to know that we take this matter with the utmost seriousness. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Irvington. 

The Board of Trustees has been in communication with local Jewish organizations and is organizing community action, bringing together partners to support those affected and reaffirm our shared values as a village.

While the tunnel falls under the jurisdiction of the MTA Police, the Irvington Police Department is actively cooperating to support a full and thorough investigation, and we urge anyone with information to come forward. If you have been affected by this incident, please reach out to the Mayor, any member of the Board of Trustees, or Chief Pignatelli. We are here to listen and support our community.
