Hochul and Adams Clash Over Response to Migrant Crisis as Tensions Rise in New York

  • New York City has received over 100,000 migrants since spring 2022, overwhelming the shelter system.
  • Gov. Hochul has criticized Mayor Adams' handling of the crisis and the city's slow response to accepting state help.
  • Adams argues the crisis is statewide and has called for Hochul to issue an executive order preventing local bans on shelters.
  • The state has offered $1.5 billion in aid but said NYC must properly manage funds and respond faster.
  • Tensions are rising as the crisis strains resources, and Republicans aim to use it against Democrats in elections.
