Mamdani still will only force homeless NYers off the streets 'as last resort' – even as deep freeze death toll rises to 13

Mayor Mamdani said Friday he still will only force homeless New Yorkers off the streets "as a last resort" — even as his office revealed 13 people have now died outdoors, with even colder temps coming this weekend.

The Democratic socialist continued to insist that city workers will compel homeless people to get indoors only if they pose a danger to themselves or others. He dug in his heels as the real-feel temperature was forecast to dip as low as -1 degree Saturday into Sunday.
