New York will bring in 150 members of the National Guard to help the city tackle the escalating migrant crisis, a democratic governor has announced.
As many as 100,000 migrants have been received into the city with around 10,000 arriving every month.
The 150 guards will be added to the 2,200 already deployed across the state to help control the surge in migrant numbers.
In a statement on Monday, Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced 250 members of the force will be assigned to full-time case management in a bid to tackle the backlog of paperwork.

The announcement comes just days after the Hochul U-turned on her opinion that New Yorkers should stop being “bigoted” and accept migrants.
“If you’re going to leave your country, go somewhere else,” Hochul told CNN.
“We have to let the word out that when you come to New York, you’re not going to have more hotel rooms.
“We don’t have capacity, so we have to also message properly.”
