Two detained after suspicious devices found outside Gracie Mansion amid protest

Two people were taken into custody after two suspicious devices were found outside Gracie Mansion, the NYC mayor’s residence, during an anti-Islam demonstration led by right-wing influencer Jake Lang. Police said no injuries occurred and the investigation is ongoing. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Mayor Zohran Mamdani or the first lady were home. Lang, who was pardoned for Jan. 6-related charges, has staged similar provocations, including a promised Quran burning that did not take place.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams has offered to house asylum-seekers at his own residence, Gracie Mansion, as part of the city's new plan to pay for private residences to house migrants. The 224-year-old estate on East 88th Street boasts lovely views of the East River and five bedrooms on the second floor, with the downstairs largely used for receptions and events hosted by City Hall. The city is currently sheltering nearly 46,000 asylum-seekers in more than 150 emergency sites set up across the five boroughs.

NYC Mayor Adams proposes housing migrants in private residences.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has said he is open to housing migrants in his official residence, Gracie Mansion, due to the city's struggle to find space for the daily arrival of more migrants. Adams has criticized the White House for not providing enough aid to the city and has pursued legal action to suspend a mandate that requires the city to provide shelter to anyone in need. The mayor's office confirmed that the idea of housing migrants in Gracie Mansion is being taken seriously.
