NYC Mayor Orders Probe Into Fake Migrants/Vets Claim

“It is really troubling, and I’m asking our local and state authorities to investigate what happened here. It was clearly fabricated and it was a conscious decision to fabricate it, from what we are getting.

“A thorough investigation will determine if any criminality is involved, but there was never a moment where veterans were displaced. We would never do that.

“And those who put together this scheme and put together this plan to really put a negative light on what we coordinated to do to send migrants throughout the entire state — a real decompression strategy.

“We’ve never displaced veterans. Someone fabricated that story, and it was blasted across our local tabloids and papers, and it’s really unfortunate that someone would do something like this.” – New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams said he’ll ask state officials to launch a probe into the now-disputed story about homeless veterans being displaced by migrants to make room in the state.
