The Trump administration is clawing back an additional over $106 million of Congressionally-allocated migrant crisis aid from New York City — a move Mayor Eric Adams plans to challenge in court.
The situation marks yet another test of how far Adams will go to defend the Big Apple against Trump’s aggressive policies, especially when it comes to the migrant crisis — an issue the mayor heavily criticized former President Biden for handling poorly. Adams previously said he would not criticize Trump, whose Justice Department succeeded in getting the mayor’s corruption indictment dropped by a federal judge last week.
