An attorney with the Legal Aid Society said Wednesday that the city and state have started working together “more urgently” to address the migrant influx after a Manhattan Supreme Court judge ordered Albany earlier this month to better assist the Big Apple in managing the crisis.
But the city on Wednesday, in a letter to the judge, made a list of additional demands from the state that include utilizing more state-owned sites both in and outside the city as migrant shelters, more funding, and for Governor Kathy Hochul to issue an executive order forcing localities upstate to accept migrants into their communities.
