Mayor Eric Adams says New York City will continue to be a sanctuary city, but he wants migrants to come willingly and in a humane manner.
Mayor Adams has said the city's shelter system is at its breaking point, with at least 11,000 migrants arriving since the summer.A total of nine buses of migrants arrived Monday, the most in one day since southern states began sending them to New York City and the surrounding area.
"We are not telling anyone that New York can accommodate every migrant in a city," Adams said. "We are saying that as a sanctuary city, right to shelter, we are going to fulfill our obligation. And when we reached out to Governor Abbott, and stated, can we coordinate? They refused to do so." El Paso is now hiring its own charter buses for these journeys, and as someone who worked in El Paso, Eyewitness News reporter Janice Yu said she has covered immigration for years. But what is happening now is something she has not seen before., with at least 13,000 migrants arriving since the summer.
