New York City Mayor Eric Adams says the city is in urgent need of federal help to cope with an expected surge in asylum seekers.
With the expiration of Title 42 days away, the federal government should share “plans to move asylum seekers to other cities, to allow asylum seekers to work, and to send aid to the cities that have borne the brunt of this crisis,” Adams said in a statement Sunday.
