New York City Mayor Eric Adams laced into the federal government and the governor of Colorado, a fellow Democrat, over busloads of asylum seekers who continue to arrive at the city’s doorstep.
And while the mayor spoke with his counterpart in Denver last week, City Hall Spokesperson Fabien Levy said Adams only learned about the extent of the arrivals Monday during a call with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
New York City has a similar program to send asylum seekers to other cities if their final destination is elsewhere. Levy said the Adams administration attempts to connect travelers to organizations, family members or services on the other end, but that some of the arrivals from Colorado have ended up in the New York City shelter system.
The influx of asylum seekers crossing the southern border intensified toward the end of the year as a Trump-era policy known as Title 42 — which allowed the federal government to expel migrants as Covid-19 precaution — was expected to expire. The Supreme Court, however, blocked that expiration in a ruling last week.
