New York City Mayor Eric Adams rebuked Gov. Kathy Hochul during remarks at a law school, declaring her approach to the city's illegal immigration crisis undoubtedly"wrong."
Adams's statement is the latest ugly show of infighting among Democrats who manage cities and states that have been inundated with illegal immigrants who have shown up on their front steps after being released at the southern border. The cities and states are sanctuary zones, which means they will not work with federal immigration law enforcement to turn over illegal immigrants who are arrested or convicted of most crimes.
The first-term mayor said Hochul faced a"real leadership moment" in how she would help the city carry the burden of people seeking shelter, food, permanent housing, jobs, and more. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas sent letters to Adams and Hochul on Monday in response to the two officials demanding that Washington do more to help the state. The DHS noted in a statement to the Washington Examiner that the federal government had given the city $140 million to respond to the crisis.
