Adams Scraps Southern Border Trip Over Safety Concerns
New York City Mayor Eric Adams cancelled a planned trip to the southern border, citing "safety concerns" in a Mexican city flagged by the U.S. Department of State. The trip was intended to discuss collaboration with faith and humanitarian leaders and address the migrant crisis. This cancellation marks the second time Adams has called off a trip related to the migrant crisis, as the city grapples with the financial burden of caring for about 65,000 migrants, with costs projected to reach $12 billion by the end of fiscal year 2025.
