And if the government does not know that physical address, they are going to send it to wherever the person used to live,” said Lauren Wyatt, a managing attorney at The Adams administration estimates roughly 60,000 migrants are residing in city homeless shelters, and about 15,000 Venezuelans in the city’s care are eligible for the Biden administration’s expanded TPS.
