New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the city was committed to providing shelter to asylum seekers and other migrants rushing into the city in recent months, which is required under legal settlements from the 1980s.

“We are required to right to shelter,” Adams said during a Thursday briefing announcing the opening of a new navigation center to support asylum seekers.
