U.S. Justice Department launches investigation into protestors that disrupted Suozzi talk

An investigation was opened by the U.S. Department of Justice into whether protesters committed federal crimes while disrupting a public event featuring Democratic U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi last month at a Long Island synagogue, according to Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K. Dhillon

The investigation stems from a Jan. 27 event at Temple Beth Sholom in Roslyn Heights, where Suozzi was speaking during a community conversation on Israel, rising antisemitism and bipartisan governance.
