New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) gave in to pressure from neighboring county officials Wednesday night and will no longer promise shelter for immigrants despite bragging about the city being a sanctuary for those who enter the country illegally.

Adams signed an executive order that revokes portions of his pledge to house thousands of immigrants in the country's largest city, even as Title 42 is set to expire. New York City is anticipating a high number of arrivals in response to the end of Title 42.

"This is not a decision taken lightly, and we will make every effort to get asylum seekers into shelter as quickly as possible as we have done since day one," City Hall spokesperson Fabian Levy said in a statement Wednesday night.

The biggest change to the city's "Right to Shelter" rules is eliminating a guarantee that families with children will be placed in private rooms with bathrooms and kitchens instead of group settings, as well as scrapping a set nightly deadline for newly arriving families to be placed in shelters.

The relaxation of the rules comes as the city "reached [its] limit" in how many people it can take in. The city had to place immigrants in gyms last week, Adams told the New York Times. Adams also unveiled a new plan to house immigrants in neighboring Orange and Rockland counties last week but was met with heavy criticism from conservative leaders.

Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) started sending busloads of immigrants who entered the U.S. through the Mexico border in Texas last year to self-proclaimed sanctuary cities to help relieve some of the burdens on border towns. Abbott said it was also to show city officials the realities of the border crisis.

Cities that have accepted immigrants include New York City, Denver, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Portland, among others.

New York City has opened eight humanitarian relief centers in response to the surge, and 120 homeless shelters. There are at least 78,763 people in the city’s main shelter system as of Tuesday, nearly half of whom are immigrants.
