Adams Feels Snubbed as Biden Avoids Meeting Him or Visiting NYC Migrant Shelter During UN Visit

Mayor Adams urged President Biden to visit The Roosevelt Hotel migrant shelter before leaving NYC.
Biden snubbed Adams during his 3-day NYC visit for the UN General Assembly, not meeting with him or visiting the shelter.
This shows a growing rift as 113,000+ migrants have entered NYC since Spring 2022, overwhelming the city.
Adams suggested it was Biden avoiding him due to his blunt, critical comments about the crisis "destroying" NYC.
Adams has demanded more federal aid, expedited work visas, and help setting up more shelters to handle the migrant influx.
