NYC Mayor Eric Adams Says No Federal Aid Coming for Migrant Crisis

After his latest visit to Washington, D.C., Adams warns that New York City will have to navigate the crisis on its own, amidst budget cuts and a historic low approval rating.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams has expressed frustration and disappointment after his latest visit to Washington, D.C., where he sought federal aid to help manage the city's ongoing migrant crisis.
Adams has stated that he left the meeting with the 'cold reality' that help from the federal government is not forthcoming, and that it will be up to New York City and his administration to navigate the crisis.
The migrant crisis has led to budget cuts in the city, with more than 140,000 migrants arriving in the city since the crisis began, straining the city's resources and services.
This is the 10th time Adams has visited D.C. to discuss the issue, and his approval rating is at a historic low of 28%, the lowest ever recorded for a NYC mayor by Quinnipiac University.
The crisis is expected to cost the city $12 billion by mid-2025, and the city is currently facing a $7 billion budget deficit.
