"NY Gov. Hochul Bolsters National Guard Presence Amid Escalating Migrant Crisis"

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has deployed an additional 150 National Guardsmen to address the escalating migrant crisis in New York City, where over 116,000 people have arrived this year. The National Guardsmen will focus on case management for Venezuelans seeking Temporary Protected Status and work permits. The crisis has reached a boiling point, with three men arrested for allegedly attacking their girlfriends at emergency shelters. The historic Roosevelt Hotel has become a registering point for migrants, and the city is currently paying about $385 a night per migrant family for housing and feeding. The influx of migrants is estimated to cost the city $4.7 billion this year, and Mayor Adams has pleaded for state and federal aid. Governor Hochul has warned that asylum seekers will no longer be housed in hotel rooms due to capacity limitations.
