Quote:As New York City deals with a massive influx of illegal immigrants, Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday said he was asking a judge to revisit the city’s sanctuary city law.

"The law of sanctuary city was in place long before I became mayor. I’m following the law. As a law enforcement person, you know, we follow the law," Adams said. "We are now in court now, today, asking the judge to revisit this law to deal with this humanitarian crisis because, even when they decided to put in place that law, no one thought they would be dealing with a humanitarian crisis of this proportion."

The statement comes as hotels in Upstate New York have canceled pre-booked hotel rooms and booted homeless veterans to make space for Adams’ migrants.

The Crossroads Hotel in Newburgh, New York abruptly canceled a Florida couple’s 30-room reservation made for their wedding, made a few months ago to accommodate traveling guests.

35-year-old Deanna Mifsud and 37-year-old Gary Moretti intend to get married on June 24 in upstate Wallkill, New York, and made the reservation at the hotel because it was 20 minutes away. Their reservation was canceled, with no help from the hotel staff.

Another pair to be married from Queens said Crossroads also canceled their May 20 reservation.

Also in Newburgh, homeless veterans staying in multiple hotels were told by staff that their temporary housing would not be extended and they would have to leave immediately.

The city of Newburgh, which is roughly 60 miles north of New York City, has become the staging ground for illegal immigrants in the state as Mayor Eric Adams continues to transport them into the county from New York City.

Adams signed an emergency declaration on Wednesday, ahead of Title 42’s expiration, suspending the city’s right-to-shelter rules that find private rooms for illegal immigrants immediately, according to CBS News.

In a statement, a spokesperson said, "New York City has cared for more than 61,000 migrants over the last year — sheltering, feeding, and caring for them almost entirely on our own. In recent days, we've seen upwards of 500 people arrive each day, and we expect those numbers to grow significantly as Title 42 lifts tomorrow."

"No asylum seeking-family that has sought shelter from us over the last year has slept on the street thanks to our colossal efforts, but without more support from our federal and state partners, we are concerned the worst may be yet to come. With over 130 emergency sites and eight humanitarian relief centers already opened, we have reached our limit, and this last week we had to resort to temporarily housing recent arrivals in gyms.

"In an effort to mitigate those risks and find room within our shelter system, the city has temporarily suspended the policy surrounding timing for placements in shelters. This is not a decision taken lightly and we will make every effort to get asylum seekers into shelter as quickly as possible as we have done since day one," the statement concluded.

Regarding the emergency declaration, Adams said on Thursday, "this was a hard decision, but it's the right decision, that this is just wrong what is happening to New York City. It's wrong and no one seems to care, but I care. And it was a challenging thing to do, but we're doing the right thing. No one thought about a humanitarian crisis when they first took this court case of right-to-shelter."

"Do you know last week we got 4,200 people? We get in an average of 500 people a day and Title 42 is not lifted. We could potentially get thousands of people a day in our city. It's wrong for those who are coming here like Commissioner Castro, and it's wrong for New Yorkers who are here," Adams told reporters.

New York temporarily halts plan to house migrants in elementary school gym after backlash

Quote:New York City has converted a low-income elementary school's gymnasium into a temporary shelter for illegal immigrants but decided to temporarily reverse course following public outcry by concerned Brooklyn parents, the New York Post reports.

Republican City Councilman Ari Kagan told the outlet that the city didn't inform parents about Mayor Adams' decision because they "knew the community would be against it."

The Adams administration has been in the process of turning PS 188 in Coney Island into a makeshift housing shelter that will reportedly accommodate up to 100 illegal immigrants in the school's gymnasium. The housing of the illegal immigrants was set to begin on Thursday but has since been put on hold after Principal Leslie King sent a letter to parents on Friday which caused an uproar, according to the Post

In the letter, principal King wrote that the Adams administration has chosen the school to be one of the "emergency, temporary sites to house individuals and families who are seeking asylum," and starting Thursday night, "several families will be utilizing the stand-alone gym at your school on a short-term basis."

Parents and members of the community took to social media to express their anger over Mayor Adams' decision, and while the public outcry was effective in temporarily stopping the city from utilizing the school's gym for illegal migrants, city councilman Kagan said, "It’s not going to happen today...but it’s not 100 percent off the table."

There are currently 64 cots set up in the school's gymnasium which is detached from the main building, and city officials have been onsite since Thursday preparing for the arrival of the illegal immigrants following the expiration of Title 24, a Trump-era border policy that expelled migrants over health-related concerns.

The school board issued a letter saying that the city did not give them any "advance notice of this action" and that the board "has been struggling all day to get the most basic information from various agencies regarding how many people will be housed there, for what length of time, whether the individuals have been screened for communicable diseases, what measures are in place to provide services, etc.," NY Post reports.

Democrat Mayor Adams declared a state of emergency in the city of New York in October over the nation's illegal immigration crisis, and requested $1 billion in aid from the Biden administration to help with assistance. Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been shipping illegal immigrants to Adams' sanctuary city to send a statement to both the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers.

On Wednesday, Mayor Adams signed an executive order that suspends New York City’s "right-to-shelter" law to make accomodations for the influx of illegal aliens, which suspends the city’s requirement to secure a bed for those seeking shelter within a certain time frame, according to the outlet.

Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for Mayor Adams, said, "This is not a decision taken lightly and we will make every effort to get asylum seekers into shelter as quickly as possible as we have done since day one."

"In an effort to mitigate those risks and find room within our shelter system, the city has temporarily suspended the policy surrounding for placements in shelters," Levy added.

Mayor Adams has been packing illegal immigrants residing in NYC onto buses and shipping them to Orange County and Rockland County in Upstate New York, specifically the city of Newburgh which had hotels evict homeless veterans earlier this week to make room for illegal immigrants.

In response, both counties have declared a state of emergency, and judges have placed temporary restraining orders on hotels, preventing them from accepting and housing migrants, the outlet reports.

Well the new mayor of Chicago said today that we “have room” for all migrants. So I can imagine that’s where they will be headed now.

Sounds like Gov Abbott found a way to change hearts and minds.

that's what 'she' said ...

Making Adams QUIT actually = ultimate victory. Yes, dealing with an influx of illegal immigrants is a verifiable b1tch. Abbott has bussed a total of 61,000 to NYC.

That is quite a few....yet pales to what those small TX border towns have to deal with while getting much less financial resources. Try dealing with 3,600,000 illegal immigrants from Oct 2022 through today. 61,000 is 1.7% of the immense volume TX tolerates.

I hope Abbott sends at least 50% to the top 20 sanctuary cities in the USA. Let them ALL have a share of the invaders.

No take backs *******

I guess they should stop printing these?

lol, at some point the illegals will be bussed between sanctuary cities.

Typical democrat. Bailing out when it's time to practice what you preach. Such hypocrites.

Abbott needs to keep sending them by the trainload, bus load, put them on the back of a flatbed 18 wheeler. Idgaf. Just send them to Chicago NYC DC SF and let those woke sanctuary city clowns deal with them
