NYC Council immigration chairwoman calls on Adams to welcome illegal immigrants

New York City Councilwoman Shahana Hanif called on Mayor Eric Adams to give the illegal immigrants flooding the city more resources and expand “right to shelter” policies.

“From a very young age, I saw myself as a fighter, and that’s what led me to the City Council,” Hanif, chairwoman of the council’s committee on immigration and co-chairwoman of its progressive caucus, told both the press and onlookers outside a Midtown Manhattan church.
