This week, Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order suspending parts of the city’s longstanding right-to-shelter law ahead of an anticipated surge in migrants. It comes as Title 42, an order that allowed the government to curb migration to protect public health during the pandemic, is expiring. 

NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Courtney Gross take a look at this change, and why Adams felt the need to suspend a law that's been in existence since the early ‘80s. They also discussed why an unprecedented number of migrants are entering the country over the southern border, and how Adams’ changes will be subject to legal challenges.

Also, two noted Republicans faced serious legal issues this week, as Long Island and Queens Rep. George Santos entered a not guilty plea to 13 federal charges, while former president and potential Republican 2024 nominee Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll. The “Off Topic/On Politics" team discusses the effect these matters may or may not have on the Republican party. 

Finally, the team weighs in on President Joe Biden's recent visit to Westchester County to deliver remarks on the debt ceiling, and how his praise for Rep. Mike Lawler was confusing for some of his fellow Democrats.

We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the changes to the right-to-shelter law.
