Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to send asylum seekers to New York City, putting stress on the city’s shelter system. Over 11,000 migrants have arrived in the city since May, and there are more buses coming almost every day. NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez take a detailed look at Mayor Eric Adams’ response to the crisis and also discuss why some sanctuary cities are suddenly being overwhelmed.

Additionally, another death has been reported at Rikers Island. Courtney Gross was there this week, and she talked to the team about what she saw, and if the city has any proper solution for the ongoing problem at the notorious jail complex.

We want to hear from you, especially what you think about Adams’ handling of the migrant issue.
