Nov 8, 2024, 12:39 AM

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced that the city will end its controversial food voucher program for migrants. The program, which provided pre-paid debit cards to migrant families to purchase food, has been a subject of debate and criticism. The decision comes one day after President-Elect Donald Trump's victory in the recent election. The program's termination is seen by some as a response to the changing political landscape. Mayor Adams cited the city's financial limits as a reason for halting the program, which had been in place since March.
