NEW YORK — Officials representing some New York suburbs have rebuked New York City Mayor Eric Adams' plan to send migrants to their towns for shelter.
Rockland County's top official declared a state of emergency on Saturday in response to Adams' plan to send 340 adult male migrants to live at an Armoni Inn and Suites in Orangeburg, New York, for four months.
On Friday, Adams announced he was sending migrants to neighboring New York counties in response to the rising numbers of asylum seekers arriving in the city, which is reportedly overwhelming the city's shelter system. The policy, which is expected to end Thursday, has been implemented more than 2.8 million times to remove migrants since March 2020.
“It is clear that the immigration crisis created by the federal government has negatively impacted Orange County,” Orange County executive Steven Neuhaus and Town of Newburgh supervisor Gil Piaquadio said in a statement."It is a self-induced problem created by lack of planning and continues to burden our taxpayers."
City officials also pushed back against claims that over 340 asylum seekers would be going to Rockland County, saying that it's up to 300 people and it would be split between two counties.
