In Twitter, he can be seen eating, sleeping and even playing video games at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal shelter, in the company of migrants.
“We’re going to spend the night with our brothers here so they know our hearts are with them,” Adams said in a video accompanying his tweet.
“Our brothers are kept warm and the team working here is giving a new definition to the words ‘love your neighbour’,” he said in his post.
The mayor had first visited this refuge in order to “put an end to the rumors that said it was too cold […] or that there was no food,” he said in another video posted to his Twitter account.
“Heat and food are present, and even [que] snacks are good for your health,” he continues. “We have to stop this anxiety.”
In nearly a year, more than 43,000 migrants have arrived in the city, according to the office of the mayor of New York.
