New York City is preparing to shut down its last remaining migrant hotel, marking the end of a controversial program that cost taxpayers $170 million. The Post has learned that the city's most notorious shelter for illegal border crossers will soon cease operations, bringing to a close a chapter in the ongoing immigration crisis that has strained the city's resources.

Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams continues his political battle with the far-left City Council, having issued 14 vetoes on bills he considers to defy common sense. The ongoing clash highlights the ideological divide between the mayor's more moderate approach and the progressive agenda pushed by council members.

In the developing mayoral race, socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani has drawn significant attention and criticism. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo's supporters are actively encouraging dual-resident Hamptonites to change their voter registration to New York City in an effort to defeat Mamdani. The strategy aims to mobilize well-heeled moderates and business owners who could impact the mayoral race and prevent what they view as radical candidates from taking office.

Cuomo himself has been vocal in his criticism of Mamdani, particularly regarding housing issues. The former governor attacked the wealthy candidate for occupying a $2,300 apartment that could otherwise house homeless New Yorkers, stating bluntly, "No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich."

Mamdani's political positions have sparked widespread outrage, particularly his vow to "declare war on charter schools" if elected mayor. His association with the Democratic Socialists of America has also drawn scrutiny, as the organization has pushed for the abolition of the traditional family structure, with members controversially calling marriage and sex work "two sides of the same coin."

The candidate has also faced criticism over a phone call between Cuomo and former President Trump, to which Mamdani delivered what sources described as a "blistering response." Political observers note that Chicago's budget troubles under far-left Mayor Brandon Johnson should serve as a warning to New York voters considering Mamdani's socialist platform.

Beyond politics, the city continues to grapple with various challenges. Recent incidents include a Times Square shooting that injured two innocent bystanders, including a tourist, and ongoing issues with safe injection sites in East Harlem, where residents report public sexual activity by drug users near the facilities.
