The Biden administration’s response to calls from Mayor Eric Adams to provide federal funding and work permits for new migrants was deemed inadequate and got a cool reception from City Hall Monday.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas penned letters to both Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul on Monday. In the missives, which were obtained by amNewYork Metro and first reported by Politico New York, Mayorkas defended the administration’s handling of the crisis thus far in response to criticisms from Adams and Hochul that it hasn’t provided enough resources for over 100,000 migrants in the city.
