CNN: Relationship between Biden’s White House and NYC Mayor Eric Adams Strains Over Immigration Crisis
The relationship between President Joe Biden’s White House and New York City Mayor Eric Adams began to crack privately months earlier than known, and long before Adams publicly criticized Biden over the immigration crisis in his city.
“There is no leadership here,” Adams told a group of Biden aides last October in the chief of staff’s office, demanding that the president do more to help his city manage the massive influx of immigrants.
The issue is one of the most delicate for the White House and Biden’s reelection campaign. Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Julie Chávez Rodríguez, Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and National Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall grew nervous. They were doing everything they could in the White House to lead without the help of Congress, they said. Biden had done more than any previous president, and much of what Adams was asking for would require congressional action or likely be immediately challenged in court.
It was a moment, now being reported for the first time, that foreshadowed a complete breakdown of the relationship between the White House and the mayoralty. CNN’s conversations with multiple sources revealed that the political partnership has become a crossfire of accusations and frustration between Adams, the president, his advisors, and advocates who complain that both leaders have been fumbling in their response to a crisis that more than one person told CNN feels like “playing hot potato with people.”
A year later, Adams has moved beyond private attacks on Biden and even led a rally on Thursday in Manhattan criticizing the government’s response to the influx of immigrants. Beyond the criticism, officials in the White House and New York fear that the inability to find solutions and address concerns will not only leave thousands of immigrants in limbo but could become a major political problem for Democrats heading into 2024, sources told CNN.
While other cities have seen an increase in immigrant arrivals, New York City has become the epicenter of the crisis, with the number of newly arrived asylum seekers surpassing 100,000 last month since spring 2022, with projected costs of up to $12 billion in the coming years as people seek housing and other basic services.

Ante las crecientes críticas y tensiones con el alcalde de Nueva York, Eric Adams, la Casa Blanca se encuentra en una posición defensiva. La relación entre la administración de Biden y Adams comenzó a deteriorarse en privado mucho antes de que el alcalde comenzara a criticar públicamente al presidente por la crisis migratoria en la ciudad.
En octubre pasado, Adams expresó su frustración a un grupo de asistentes de Biden, exigiendo al presidente que hiciera más para ayudar a Nueva York a manejar la llegada masiva de inmigrantes. Sin embargo, la Casa Blanca argumenta que han estado haciendo todo lo posible para liderar sin la ayuda del Congreso y que gran parte de lo que Adams pide requeriría acción legislativa.
Las conversaciones con múltiples fuentes revelaron que la relación política entre la Casa Blanca y la alcaldía se ha convertido en un cruce de acusaciones y frustración. Ambos líderes han sido criticados por su respuesta a la crisis migratoria, y existe el temor de que la incapacidad para encontrar soluciones pueda convertirse en un problema político importante para los demócratas de cara a las elecciones de 2024.
La ciudad de Nueva York se ha convertido en el epicentro de la crisis migratoria, con más de 100,000 solicitantes de asilo recién llegados desde la primavera de 2022. Se estima que los costos asociados con esta situación podrían ascender a $12,000 millones en los próximos años.
La Casa Blanca ha estado haciendo esfuerzos para superar las diferencias y coordinarse con los socios estatales y municipales. Sin embargo, Adams se ha sentido desairado después de tener una línea regular de comunicación y reuniones en la Casa Blanca con el jefe de gabinete, Ron Klain.
Los demócratas de Nueva York están preocupados de que la situación pueda afectar negativamente a su partido. Temen que Adams esté alimentando los argumentos de la derecha y que los republicanos cuestionen el gasto en ayuda a los inmigrantes. La gobernadora de Nueva York, Kathy Hochul, está tratando de mediar en el conflicto y ha logrado obtener compromisos adicionales de la Casa Blanca.
A pesar de la solidaridad con la crisis humanitaria de Nueva York, algunos defensores y funcionarios acusan a Adams de grandilocuencia. Algunos alcaldes de otras ciudades han expresado su apoyo a la administración de Biden y han instado a Adams a trabajar en conjunto para abordar las preocupaciones en el Congreso.
En resumen, la relación entre la Casa Blanca y el alcalde de Nueva York, Eric Adams, se ha deteriorado debido a las tensiones y críticas relacionadas con la crisis migratoria en la ciudad. Ambos líderes se acusan mutuamente de no tomar medidas adecuadas, y existe el temor de que esta situación pueda convertirse en un problema político para los demócratas. La Casa Blanca está tratando de superar las diferencias y coordinarse con los socios estatales y municipales, pero Adams se siente desairado y ha encabezado un mitin criticando la respuesta del Gobierno.
¿Qué medidas concretas se han tomado hasta ahora para abordar la crisis migratoria y cómo han impactado en la reducción del flujo de solicitantes de asilo recién llegados?
Rtido en el epicentro de la crisis migratoria, con el número de solicitantes de asilo recién llegados superando los 100,000 el último mes desde la primavera de 2022. Además, se proyectan costos de hasta $12 mil millones en los próximos años para brindar vivienda y otros servicios básicos a estas personas.
Se están realizando esfuerzos para superar las diferencias. Tom Pérez, quien reemplazó a Julie Chávez Rodríguez, recientemente pasó tiempo en Nueva York tratando de aliviar las tensiones en torno a la crisis migratoria. Sin embargo, las preocupaciones persisten tanto en la Casa Blanca como en Nueva York, ya que la falta de soluciones y respuestas adecuadas no
