NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mayor Eric Adams announced a plan Monday to house as many as 2,000 migrants on an island in the East River where a migrant center was set up last year and then taken down weeks later. The state will reimburse the city for the cost of operating a tent city for adult migrants on Randalls Island, Adams said. 'As the number of asylum seekers in our care continues to grow by hundreds every day, stretching our system to its breaking point and beyond, it has become more and more of a Herculean effort to find enough beds every night,' Adams, a Democrat, said in a news release.
