The suit was announced the same day that Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that FEMA will provide $104.6 million in funding to help the city care for migrants. “Some elected officials have attempted to build metaphorical walls around their localities with unlawful executive orders,” Adams said in a press release. “This lawsuit aims to put an end to this xenophobic bigotry.”
