Mayor Eric Adams suddenly pulled out of his planned trip to the U.S. southern border on Saturday over what his office called security concerns.
A spokesperson for the mayor explained Saturday that the trip was off as a result of the potential security risk which the U.S. State Department had flagged. Adams had been invited by Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande, to look at the humanitarian efforts underway at the border and discuss how his administration has handled the influx of more than 184,000 newly arrived migrants, many shipped by bus from the southern border in Texas, over the past two years.
