NYC Mayor Adams Scraps Southern Border Trip Over Safety Concerns

NYC Mayor Eric Adams canceled his trip to the southern U.S. border due to safety concerns raised by the U.S. State Department about a Mexican city he was scheduled to visit. The trip, which would have been his second to the southern border, was intended to address the ongoing migrant influx in New York City, where more than 184,000 migrants have moved through the city’s intake system since April 2022. The cancellation comes amid the city's efforts to manage the situation and the establishment of NYPD outposts in Tucson, Arizona, and Bogota, Colombia, to address border-related issues.
