New York has reportedly only been approved for $8 million. Does the Biden administration have plans to increase funding for New York and other cities, especially in conjunction with this new parole program?”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, as — as — as the Department of Homeland Security announced yesterday, we are indeed increasing funding available to border cities and those cities receiving an influx of migrants.

In addition to strengthening ongoing coordination and collaboration across all levels of government, DHS is also expanding outreach efforts with cities to provide coordination of resources and technical assistance.

We have been, indeed, facilitating coordination between the state and local — I think you’ve heard us say this before, state and local officials and also — and other federal agencies … But as I just stated, he — the Department of Homeland Security did announce additional funding.
