Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to hand out flyers at the border and at Big Apple migrant sites — telling asylum seekers to “consider another city” — is getting abject refusal from the National Guard and federal authorities, The Post has learned.
When a city deputy working with the Humanitarian and Emergency Relief Centers requested National Guardsmen pass out the leaflets, the soldiers declined — saying there was no green light from superiors, a source told The Post.
The National Guard assists in processing hundreds of migrants at dozens of city sites, emergency relief centers and hotels.
National Guard spokesman Col. Richard Goldberg had a more blunt reply to the query: “We are not.”
