Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams says his administration is looking at additional places to house migrants while balancing the city’s economy.
The Adams administration has been scrambling to find places to house new arrivals, opening emergency shelters in about 40 hotels and contemplating temporarily housing migrants on a docked cruise ship. Earlier this week, Adams called out unnamed elected officials for not proposing sites in their districts for migrants, hinting that the “loudest have been the least benevolent.”
“We have a real ‘W’ in how the governor has been just an unbelievable ally in this pursuit,” Adams said. “And there’s several other things that we are going to need the state — locations, navigating those locations — and she has been there, and I can’t thank you enough, governor, just for being there.”
On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that Venezuelans who attempt to enter the U.S. illegally would be returned to Mexico. At the same time, the U.S. plan will give up to 24,000 Venezuelans with American sponsors a legal path to enter the country. Adams, meanwhile, was asked why his administration hasn’t asked the Hochul administration to use the state-operated Javits Center and its massive convention spaces to house asylum seekers. During the early days of the pandemic, the Javits Center was converted into a temporary hospital to alleviate some of the pressure faced by standard hospitals inundated with COVID-19 patients.
