Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Monday the deployment of 150 National Guard personnel to help deal with the migrant crisis that has overwhelmed New York City and much of the surrounding area.
This deployment builds on the 1,900 National Guard personnel who are providing logistical and operational support to asylum seekers statewide. National Guard personnel are staffing 51 hotels and two New York City Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers, Hochul's office said.
Hochul's office said 250 National Guard personnel, backed by $50 million in state funds, will work full-time in case management to help asylum seekers and migrants file the appropriate paperwork to attain legal work status and exit taxpayer-funded shelters. "New York state is working hard to assist NYC with the ongoing asylum-seeker crisis," said Jackie Bray, commissioner of the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. "Gov. Hochul has been focused on finding ways to help migrants and asylum seekers in NYC's shelters leave shelter by resourcing and advocating for pathways to work authorization and legal services.
