Confronting Disinformation with Facts & Responsible Decision Making

01 August 2023

No one in local government asked for this national migrant crisis, but tragically, decades of inaction by our federal government amplified by dishonest and underhanded moves by politicians placed it on our doorstep.

In New York, the misinformation began with City officials and their representatives refusing to coordinate with municipalities before bussing homeless individuals into their jurisdictions. On numerous occasions, New York City outright lied about their intentions and actions, as well as their own legal requirements to care for these human beings. But the truth is the misinformation has come from all angles and political persuasions.
