Tensions between the city council and Mayor Eric Adams spiked this past week over elements of the asylum seeker crisis, with both sides digging in their heels. Meanwhile, the care for some 70,000 newly arrived migrants hangs in the balance.

In a statement about the application, Adams said they don’t want to end the law. The move was only to “clarify” the law since the city cannot “provide care for an unlimited number of people and are already overextended.” Comptroller Brad Lander also backed the plan to move homeless individuals and asylum seekers into long-term housing and get work authorization for these new residents.
Fabien Levy, Adams’ press secretary, said, “Since day one of this administration, we have worked to shelter New Yorkers experiencing homelessness and connect our city’s residents with more permanent housing. That’s why earlier this year, we proposed to the City Council that we work together to remove the 90-day rule for families experiencing homelessness to connect them with housing vouchers faster.
