The New York Daily News reports:
New York City will only allow buses of asylum seekers to arrive between 8:30 a.m. and noon on weekdays going forward, Mayor Adams said Wednesday, instituting the restrictions in concert with Denver and Chicago, which created broader windows for bus arrivals.
Adams said New York City’s policy, implemented through executive order, is intended to create a more orderly process for asylum seekers to arrive in the city as the migrant crisis stretches the shelter system beyond its limit.
