The mayor of New York City has declared a state of emergency and is calling for emergency aid from the federal and state governments to deal with an influx of migrants.
Mayor Eric Adams says the city projects costs of more than $1 billion related to asylum seekers in this fiscal year.
Mayor Adams says hundreds of buses have arrived in New York from Texas. That number has averaged five to six buses a day since September. On Thursday alone, at least nine buses arrived. The mayor is directing city agencies to coordinate their efforts to respond to what he calls a "humanitarian crisis" in the city.Mayor Adams declares a state of emergency
There are more than 61,000 people in the city's shelter system. If the current pace of arriving migrants continues, the number of people in the city’s shelter system will surpass 100,000 in the coming year. It also has set up a navigation center to connect asylum seekers with what are deemed critical resources.
