Boston, MA – Officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are visiting Boston this week to assess the ongoing migrant crisis and explore opportunities for increased federal support, as confirmed by authorities.
This development comes in response to appeals from local and state leaders who have been requesting federal assistance to address the growing influx of migrants in Massachusetts. The situation has been placing significant strain on the state’s shelter system and other resources, necessitating additional support.
According to officials, DHS is actively collaborating with Boston and state leaders to identify and implement measures that enhance support for communities that are working to meet the needs of migrants. The visit aims to facilitate discussions, assess the situation on the ground, and explore ways to maximize federal assistance in addressing the challenges posed by the migrant crisis.
