Mayors to meet behind closed doors to discuss migrant crisis amid tensions over buses
Fox News
Mayors from across the U.S. are meeting Wednesday to discuss the influx of migrants into cities, and perhaps dilute some of the growing tensions between cities.
There were more than 2.3 million migrant encounters in FY 2022 and the first months of FY23 have outpaced the same time period from the prior year. Customs and Border Protection sources told Fox News this week that encounters for December are set to exceed 250,000 -- a new record. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
But the knock-on effect of that crisis has been that some migrants, often with the help of non-governmental organizations or state officials in Texas, Arizona and elsewhere, have been moving in droves into cities -- particularly "sanctuary" cities like Washington D.C., New York City and Chicago.
