Mayor Eric Adams’ “cruel” policy of kicking migrant families out of shelters after 60 days has uprooted children from schools and imperiled newcomers’ efforts to become self-sufficient, City Comptroller Brad Lander charged on Thursday.

An investigation by his office concluded the implementation of the so-called 60-day rule — which Adams rolled out last fall — has been “haphazard and arbitrary,” and has undermined migrants’ ability to obtain work authorization and employment.
