Comptroller demands info on migrant shelter subpoenas

Comptroller Brad Lander is requesting information from Mayor Eric Adams about a federal investigation into migrant shelters. This comes as pressure mounts on Adams to take a stronger stance against the federal government's immigration actions. The Department of Justice has issued subpoenas to hotels housing migrants, seeking personal information about them. Lander argues this may violate New York City privacy laws and has urged Adams to challenge the subpoenas. Adams has not publicly criticized the federal administration and has expressed willingness to cooperate. He deferred comments on the investigation to the U.S. attorney's office, while Lander and others criticize his response to the situation.
