New York’s Democratic governor is blaming New York City mayor Eric Adams over the state’s migrant crisis, while the mayor is pointing the finger at the Biden administration.
In a Tuesday letter, lawyers representing Gov. Kathy Hochul criticized Adams, a fellow Democrat, for his handling of the migrant crisis in his city. The letter argues the city’s missteps led to a crisis-level shortage of housing for illegal immigrants.
« In particular, the City chose to send migrants to counties and localities outside of the City with-little-or-no [sic] notice to or coordination with the State or those counties and localities, » the state’s counsel, Faith Gay, said in the letter, referencing Adams’s practice of busing of migrants out of his city into surrounding municipalities, which local officials have resisted.
