New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office has responded to New York City’s request for help, as it tries to shelter and provide for almost 100,000 illegal immigrants, with a long list of things the state has already provided, saying that a lack of coordination from city officials on various fronts is to blame for delays in the process.

“In some instances, the City has failed to accept the State’s offers of assistance or recommendations for State facilities. The City has not made timely requests for regulatory changes, has not always promptly shared necessary information with the State, has not implemented programs in a timely manner, and has not consulted the State before taking certain actions,” the letter reads.
