Governor Kathy Hochul “made it clear” in a public address Thursday that the migrant crisis is New York City’s issue and not the state’s, Mayor Eric Adams’ Chief Advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin said on audio of a private conference call obtained by amNewYork Metro.
Lewis-Martin also urged those present on the call, one of many briefings City Hall leadership has held with city and state lawmakers on the migrant crisis, to push Hochul into taking more of an active role in assisting the five boroughs with the influx.
