New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) signed an executive order on Wednesday suspending parts of the city’s longstanding right-to-shelter rules.
This decision comes as Title 42, a pandemic-era public health policy allowing authorities to quickly expel migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border without allowing them to seek asylum, is set to expire on Thursday.
The New York Times reported that city officials anticipate up to 1,000 people per day will arrive in New York City once the federal policy ends.
