The mayor's office said they have requested a meeting with FEMA after the agency pulled millions of dollars in funding to house migrants in New York.

The Roosevelt Hotel, which has been used as migrant shelter for almost two years, will close operations in the coming months, Mayor Eric Adams said on Monday. The announcement comes about two weeks after the Federal Emergency Management Agency clawed back $80 million of aid designated for migrant services in New York.

This is "the first critical test of whether we still have independent leadership at City Hall," said Lander, an Adams critic who is challenging him in June’s Democratic primary.

Mayor Eric Adams plans to sue the Trump administration over the withdrawal of $80 million in FEMA funds meant for New York City's migrant services.

New York City sued the Trump administration last week over the $80 million in federal funding the White House took back without consent. The city's Law Department said it was challenging the president's decision to revoke Federal Emergency Management Agency funding approved to reimburse the city for migrant housing expenses.

The money, Biden-era federal funds for sheltering migrants, disappeared from a city bank account without warning. New York wants it back.
