The Department of Homeland Security says it has made a number of recommendations to New York City about how it can better handle the ongoing migrant crisis.
says it has made a number of recommendations this week as to how New York City can improve its handling of the influx of migrants it has seen into the"sanctuary" city, but local officials have called for an emergency declaration and work authorizations from the federal government.
"The team was impressed with the exceptional efforts by New York officials under the ongoing strain of accepting a large number of migrants and has provided recommendations for improvements, including data collection, case management, and increased communication with migrants on work authorizations," a spokesperson said.
The recommendations from DHS to NYC include increasing information collection at intake centers, overall communication to move migrants through the system, a greater focus on case management — including legal services — and more information on work authorization and asylum applications.
