"Political Leaders Clash Over New York's Migrant Crisis Handling"

New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticized Governor Kathy Hochul's handling of the migrant crisis, disagreeing with her stance that the city should limit the movement of migrants to other parts of New York without the consent and coordination of local leaders. Adams urged Hochul to issue a statewide order preventing municipalities from blocking the arrival of migrants through local edicts, but Hochul rejected the concept, arguing that migrants should not be forced on other counties. The strained relationship between the governor and mayor has also put pressure on the Biden administration to do more to help New York.
