A second upstate New York county blocks migrant relocation

the county of Orangein the north of NYis the second to obtain a temporary injunction blocking the Big Apple City Council’s plans to relocate part of the migrants who are pouring into the city from the southern border of USA.

A judge of the Supreme Court state decided today that the migrants staying at two local hotels will be allowed to stay but banned new arrivals after the county leader Orange, steven neuhausa Republican, denounced last Friday the city of NY and to the two establishments.

Last week, the county of rocklandsalso led by a Republican, has already blocked the arrival of migrants by court order in anticipation of the end of the measure known as Title 42which since the pandemic had allowed the immediate expulsion of migrants who crossed the border without permission with Mexico.

The New York Immigration Coalitionwhich defends the rights of this group, criticized the measure taken by Orange County as cruel, demanded coordination between the administration of the Big Apple and the county, and indicated that there are currently 186 migrants, all adult men, in the two hotels.

Orange and Rockland counties, among others, have declared states of emergency in their areas to prevent hotels and other establishments from accepting migrants, have criticized the lack of communication from the mayor of New York, Eric Adamsin these relocations, and have denounced that they lack resources.

The spokesman for City Hall of the Big Apple, fabien levyHe told The New York Post that until the federal government sends help, the city needs other areas to pitch in, noting that Orange County was asked to handle only a small group of all-expenses paid migrants.

The recent rush of migrants arriving by bus in New York City has prompted the Adams administration, a Democrat, to take emergency measures such as relaxing rules for taking in the homeless and selecting 20 public school gymnasiums as possible hostels.

Previously, the city has already set up some 140 shelters, many of them hotels, which are hosting families with children, while young people or adults without children are located in other accommodations.

Before Title 42 expired, last Thursday, the city’s public services were already in a critical state after the arrival of some 65,000 immigrants since last August.

New York is the only city in the country that is required by law to give a roof to anyone who does not have one, and it is the argument that some Republican leaders -such as the governors of Texas, Greg Abbottor Florida, Ron DeSantis– are being used to promote in one way or another the transfer of migrants to the Big Apple.
