Abandoned Prison Considered to House Migrants
May 15, 2023 | New York
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is reportedly considering housing migrants in a shuttered Hudson Valley prison.
He considered the idea in call with county officials Thursday, as New York City struggles to find accommodations for thousands more asylum-seekers expected to arrive following the expiration of the federal border policy Title 42, according to an audio tape obtained by Politico.
Adams in the call said his administration needs help from neighboring counties as the city has already provided housing, food and other services to over 65,000 asylum-seekers over the past year. (Excerpt from Just the News.)
