The mayor's visit includes visits to the Darién gap, Colombia, Mexico and Ecuador.
Mayor Eric Adams said Monday that he will embark on a four-day trip to Latin America this week, a journey that comes amid growing tensions between the city and the White House over the ongoing migrant crisis.
This is not the first time Adams has traveled to the border to put pressure on the Biden administration to address the crisis. In January, the mayor made a 24-hour trip to El Paso, Texas. City officials said they are distributing flyers along the southern border and sending social media messages warning newcomers not to come to the Big Apple.
The mayor has pressured both Gov. Kathy Hochul and Biden to help the city manage the crisis, which he said is costing the city billions and forcing him to make severe budget cuts.
