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.
