Desperate Mayor Eric Adams has pleaded with a judge to end the city's longstanding 'right to shelter' law as he struggles to house more than 122,000 migrants who have flooded the Big Apple since last year. Adams, 63, sent a Tuesday evening urging a judge to dismiss the city's legal obligation to provide shelter to adults, claiming the 1981 law should be void in a state of emergency. The letter, sent to New York justice Erika Edwards, warned that the huge influx 'shows no signs of abating', while citing a staggering 159 percent increase in the number of people in the city's care since April 2022.
