Mayor Adams Calls for New Yorkers to Protest in D.C. Over Migrant Crisis

Adams' controversial strategy risks straining his relationship with President Biden and further exacerbating his plummeting approval ratings.

Mayor Eric Adams calls on New Yorkers to protest in Washington, D.C. against federal budget cuts, blaming the city’s budget woes on the cost of caring for tens of thousands of migrants.
Adams' strategy is seen as risky and politically charged, potentially straining his relationship with President Joe Biden.
Over 150,000 migrants have arrived in the city since last spring, with over 67,000 staying in the city’s shelter system.
Adams' popularity is plummeting, with a recent Quinnipiac survey showing only a 28% approval rating.
Adams is facing multiple challenges, including a federal investigation into his campaign, a progressive City Council, and a fiscal deficit due to the migrant crisis and the expiration of federal pandemic aid.
