Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday a series of measures with which he hopes to control the arrival of new immigrants in New York City.
This comes after a flight carrying asylum seekers was diverted to Philadelphia on Tuesday night. Five buses then transported immigrants to the Big Apple. According to Eric Adams, it was a decision by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
In a virtual meeting with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Adams specified what the new restrictions were.

According to data from the Border Patrol (CBP), almost 70,000 migrants are detained, but they estimate that the number will increase to 307,000 in the coming days, with 75,000 of Mexican origin.
Immigrants with children can only stay 60 days in New York shelters
From the New York City Hall in lower Manhattan, a group of activists and community leaders spoke out on November 19 for Eric Adams to eliminate the 60-day rule in immigrant shelters.
Liza Schwartzwald, director of the New York Immigration Coalition, one of the groups that organized Tuesday’s march, told the AP that time limits only serve to uproot families who have already made the dangerous journey to cross the border. .
Immigrants who are alone can only stay 30 days in the shelters.
