New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposed $124.7 billion fiscal year 2027 executive budget includes investments in immigration legal services and childcare but faces calls for deeper commitments. Immigrant advocates praised key allocations while urging further support for legal services and education, noting that demand continues to outpace resources.
