Comptroller Lander queries mayor over migrant shelter subpoenas

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is requesting information from Mayor Eric Adams about a federal investigation into migrant shelters. This comes as the mayor faces pressure to respond to the Biden administration's immigration policies. The Department of Justice has issued a subpoena to a hotel for details about migrants, part of a probe into contracts for housing them. Lander argues this may violate local privacy laws and urges the mayor to resist the subpoenas. Adams has been criticized for not taking a stronger stance against the federal government. He has expressed a willingness to collaborate with the Biden administration, while Lander and others call for more assertive leadership on immigration issues.
