3 more buses of migrants arrive in NYC as city faces backlash against housing plan

Three more buses carrying asylum seekers arrived at Port Authority on Saturday morning as backlash continues against New York City’s plans on where to house the migrants. Earlier this week there were growing protests at Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to send migrants north to hotels in the Hudson Valley, and now a new plan announced Friday is drawing criticism as well. The Coney Island community in Brooklyn is the latest to express a sense of outrage over the plan to house migrants at a school gym.

The pace of migrants arriving in New York City is expected to stay the same or pick up after the expiration of the federal policy Title 42.
