The mayor says he has no choice but to move forward with painful budget cuts to cover a $7 billion deficit.
Adams met with Congressional leaders and members of the Biden administration on Thursday.
The mayor says Washington should help cover the cost of housing hundreds of thousands of migrants. However, he said he left the meetings "with the cold reality that help is not on the way."
"We did not walk out from D.C. with any level of optimism that anything is going to drastically change," Adams said. "It is clear that for the time being this crisis is going to be carried by the cities."
He went on to say that "help is not on the way in the immediate future."
