Controversy Surrounds NYC's Plan to Send Migrants to Upstate NY

New York City plans to transport migrants who need temporary shelter to Onondaga County next week, despite the county’s emergency order that attempts to ban such transfers. The bus is expected to arrive in the next few days at the Candlewood Suites Syracuse Airport Hotel on South Bay Road in Salina. Onondaga County issued an emergency order that temporarily bans the transfer of migrants into the county and threatens to fine local hotels or motels that temporarily house them. Two other New York counties, Rockland and Orange counties, succeeded in obtaining temporary restraining orders from a judge last week, blocking the migrant transfers.
