In response to the escalating challenges posed by a surge in asylum seekers, Governor Kathy Hochul is endorsing Mayor Adams' request to temporarily suspend New York City's right to shelter policy. The move aims to address the unsustainable situation as migrants continue to arrive, overwhelming existing shelter capacities. The governor's attorney has communicated this request to the judge overseeing the case, emphasizing the urgency of finding effective solutions. However, this proposal has sparked debate and drawn criticism from advocates who emphasize the importance of inclusive and sustainable approaches to the migrant crisis.
