The state Senate is trying to kill Gov. Kathy Hochul’s last-minute push to crack down on masked protesters — out of “heightened concern” for student demonstrators, sources told The Post Thursday. Some of the lawmakers are worried about protecting protesters’ ability to rally while shielding their identities following the recent high-profile arrests by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement of anti-Israel college demonstrators, according to the sources.
