New York Governor Kathy Hochul has called up 150 members of the National Guard to help asylum seekers and migrants apply for work authorization.
. This means that a total of 2,200 guard members have now been assigned to help deal with this crisis since October 2022.
"That coveted work authorization, that's their ticket to the American dream," Hochul said on Monday to a group of National Guard members. "So you'll be helping them get a job, helping them support themselves, and helping them leave these shelters."City officials have told some adult migrants that they have hit the 60-day limit for staying in the city's shelter system.
City officials wouldn’t give a specific number, but according to sources on the ground at least 6 buses with migrants arrived over the weekend.The NYPD was called to Father Capodanno Boulevard for reports of crowd control issues. Ten people were taken into custody. This has been the federal government’s biggest critique of the city’s handling of the migrant crisis.
