New York. Eric Adams is defending his plan to temporarily house some migrants at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, as some continue to question the costs associated with opening and quickly closing the sites.
More than 41,000 migrants have come through the city since last June. ( NY Post ) An agreement to use the site was brokered between the city and Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and approved by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Last year, Adams ordered the construction of a tent city for migrants at Orchard Beach in The Bronx but abandoned it before it opened due to flooding concerns.
