Pushing back against wave of migrants: Mayor Adams announces 60-day shelter limits

Off Topic/On Politics

Facing a growing population of migrants, Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city will limit shelter stays for single adult asylum seekers to 60 days. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena and NY1 political anchor Errol Louis weigh in on this policy change and whether it can be successfully implemented. They also discuss the mayor’s announcement that the city will be passing out flyers at the U.S.-Mexican border to deter people from coming to New York City.

The mayor also appointed the first Latino to be the city’s top cop, Edward Caban. Caban replaces Keechant Sewell, who resigned suddenly last month. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team discusses the role of a police commissioner in the Adams administration and how Caban may be able to outlast the short term of his predecessor.
