New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday that his administration will start handing out flyers to immigrants at the border urging them not to relocate to the city.
The flyer is part of a new mayoral directive Adams plans to implement that will limit the amount of time immigrants can stay in New York City's shelter system to 60 days. The city has been sheltering immigrants under its right-to-shelter law, which Adams's administration is currently challenging in court to exclude single adults.So far, the city has housed more than 90,000 immigrants, according to Adams.
The flyer tells states that"there is no guarantee" that the city will be able to provide new arrivals with"shelter and services," and asks immigrants to"consider another city as you make your decision about where to settle in the U.S."
