City Comptroller Brad Lander announced at a press conference Monday that he has launched an investigation into Mayor Eric Adams’ policy to evict migrant families after 60-day hotel stays, and claimed the policy is leading to pregnant women and young families being kicked to the curb.
Lander, who spoke Jan. 9 outside the Row Hotel on 8th Avenue, said that it was unconscionable to be evicting families in cold temperatures and said the policy is cruel.
