Top Adams advisor calls to ‘close the borders’ amid migrant crisis

Mayor Eric Adams’ top advisor, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, on Sunday called for the federal government to “close the borders” with Mexico to stop the flow of migrants into the city.

Lewis-Martin — Adams’ influential and controversial longtime deputy — made the comments in an interview on PIX 11, responding to a question from reporter Dan Mannarino on the administration’s attempts to suspend the city’s legal right to shelter.
