The New York County trial attorney who triggered online outrage for ripping down posters featuring kidnapped Israeli children will get to keep her job, her employer said.

Victoria Ruiz, a member of the New York County Defenders Services (NYCDS), was filmed removing some of the posters put up by pro-Israeli activists across New York City in their efforts to raise public awareness of the brutal killing and kidnapping spree that Hamas terrorists unleashed in southern Israel during the Oct. 7 attacks.
