New York City Mayor Eric Adams is pushing for the state to cover 50% of the city’s migrant costs, projected to reach at least $10.6B by summer 2025. The city has been sheltering over 170,000 migrants since 2022, exceeding the population of Syracuse. Adams defends a $53M prepaid card program for migrants, claiming it will save the city money. However, a vigilante group, the Guardian Angels, mistakenly roughed up a man they claimed was a migrant shoplifter, but was actually a Bronx resident. The NYPD confirmed the misidentification. The incident occurred during a live TV interview on Fox News. The city's handling of the migrant crisis has sparked controversy and criticism from various sources, including political figures and media outlets.
