This Week in Politics: Mayor Adams takes on President Biden

WNYC News | Apr 22, 2023

It's been one year since migrants – many of them fleeing violence and poverty in Latin America – began arriving in New York City. Mayor Adams says caring for these individuals is costing the city billions of dollars and that the federal government needs to step in. This week, Adams, a Democrat, criticized President Biden.

WNYC's Elizabeth Kim covers mayoral power for the People and Power Desk. She discusses the mayor's remarks, and what it all means for the city going forward, with Weekend Edition host David Furst.
