Mayor Eric Adams on Monday fired back at a pair of advocacy groups who criticized his decision to open yet another 1,000-bed migrant shelter over the weekend, dinging them for not taking the fact that the city is facing “a crisis” of having to accommodate over 41,000 migrants into account.
“I don’t believe a lot of people are fully comprehending that this is a crisis, this is a crisis,” Adams said during an unrelated press conference Monday.
