New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing criticism from city council members regarding his 60-day migrant eviction policy. New data shows that this policy negatively impacts public school students, with 8,233 families with children affected. Since March 3, 51% of these families remain in city-sponsored shelters, and nearly 18% of migrant children have left their shelter mid-school year, disrupting their education. Council Member Gale Brewer highlighted issues such as lack of transportation and the detrimental effects of instability on children. The mayor’s office defended the policy, citing resource limitations and the city’s efforts to minimize impacts on affected families. However, council members argue that the policy causes significant harm to children’s education and stability.
