As New York City Mayor Eric Adams traveled to Washington on Thursday to meet with Congressional legislators and Biden administration officials on the challenges facing Caribbean and other asylum seekers in New York City, Caribbean-American New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams has called for a “federal agenda” to support asylum seekers.

On Wednesday, Williams, the son of Grenadian immigrants, met with the White House Domestic Policy Council and the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness to push for US federal action to support asylum seekers and housing solutions.
