Mayor Adams Ends NYC Voucher and Prepaid Debit Card Programs for Illegal Migrants Following Trump's Win

Nov 9, 2024, 02:45 PM

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced the termination of the city's voucher and prepaid debit card programs for illegal migrants, including food vouchers. This decision comes shortly after President-Elect Donald Trump's victory in the recent election. The move is seen as a preemptive alignment with the incoming administration's policies. Additionally, a federal judge has invalidated President Biden's undocumented 'Spouses Program,' which aimed to keep families of illegal migrants together. The changes reflect a shift in immigration policy and signal the beginning of stricter measures expected under Trump's administration, including mass deportations.
