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.
