Colorado will stop sending migrants to New York and Chicago, according to a press release from Colorado Gov. Jared Polis.
In this file photo, New York City Mayor Eric Adams speaks at a conference on Dec. 12, 2022, in New York City.The decision followed days of public discussion between the leaders of the two cities -- New York Mayor Eric Adams and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot -- and Polis about which city should be responsible for supporting the influx of migrants.
"This is just unfair for local governments to have to take on this national obligation," Adams said. "We've done our job. There's no more room at the end, but we are compelled by local laws here that we must provide shelter." New York City received 36,400 asylum seekers in the nine months leading up to Jan. 4 and plans to spend $1 billion in 2023 to "address the asylum crisis," according to the letter. Chicago has received 3,854 migrants since Aug. 31, the letter said.
