In an unexpected twist, New York Mayor Eric Adams has reversed his plan to convert an abandoned luxury apartment complex in Harlem into a haven for illegal immigrants, bowing to outrage from the local community.

The mayor’s decision comes after he appeared last week at a community meeting, where dozens of residents openly expressed their anger over the proposal to transform the 35-story building, empty for a decade, into a homeless shelter. home, which would potentially harbor illegal immigrants.
