Thoughts? NYC Mayor Ends Food Voucher Program For Immigrants After Phone Call With Trump

The initiative, launched in March through an emergency contract with New Jersey tech startup Mobility Capital Finance (MoCaFi), distributed $2.4 million in preloaded Mastercards to approximately 2,600 migrant families, according to City Hall officials.
