New York City is bound by a mandatory asylum rule for the homeless by a court decision back in the 1980s. As more migrants arrive in the city, Adams, who has called the immigration crisis a “catastrophe”, has tried a number of approaches to housing them, from tents to relocation to other parts of the state. But the problem has not been resolved.
Adams declared a state of emergency in October 2022 and called on President Joe Biden, his fellow Democrat, to provide more resources and help migrants get work permits faster.

The city has settled 90,000 migrants since spring. Thousands of them arrived on buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican who decides to show Democrats how difficult it is to deal with a huge influx of illegal immigrants.
Two New York City homeless organizations, the Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless, released a joint statement saying they are investigating the legality of a new 60-day shelter restriction.
Last month, New York City officials warned of a “tipping point” in the migration crisis. They noted that asylum applicants made up more than half of the 100,000 people living in the city’s homeless shelters.
City Hall spokeswoman Fabienne Levy called for more state and federal support, saying New York City “now cares for more asylum seekers than homeless New Yorkers” and refugees are a federal, not a city, issue.
