(East Farmingdale, NY)-  New York Senator Chuck Schumer, is calling for authorities to add the people who rioted at the Capitol last week, to be added to the no-fly list.  The New York Post reports that Schumer told a group of reporters, “We can not allow these same insurrectionists to get on a plane and cause more violence and more damage”.  Schumer also added “The law says that acts of terror, like those perpetrated by the people who unlawfully and violently breached the Capitol, must be considered threats to the homeland. Once you’re considered a threat to the homeland, you should and must be placed on the no-fly list, plain and simple.”
