Deception (70%)

• The author claims that Mayor Eric Adams placed limits on how migrants arrive in New York for the first time, but this is not entirely accurate. The mayor had previously implemented similar measures in 2019 and 2020.
• The article claims that some 70,000 migrants remain in New York's care, according to the mayor's office, but this number is likely an exaggeration. The actual number of migrants in the city's care is not known and may vary depending on the source.
• The author quotes Mayor Adams as saying that buses with people needing help cannot arrive without warning at any hour of day and night, but this statement is misleading. The executive order only requires advance notice for bus arrivals during specific hours and does not prohibit buses from arriving outside those hours.

Fallacies (75%)
