New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Friday declared a state of emergency over the surge of illegal immigrants that have been bused to the city in recent weeks.

“This is a humanitarian crisis that started with violence and instability in South America and is being accelerated by American political dynamics,” Adams said in a news conference on Friday. “Thousands of asylum seekers have been bused into New York City and simply dropped off, without notice, coordination, or care—and more are arriving every day.”
