"New York's Immigration Plan Sparks Legal Battle and Political Criticism"

Orange County officials have filed two lawsuits to stop New York City's plan to temporarily house migrants in hotels in nearby counties, alleging that the plan exceeds its authority, violates a county executive order, and bypasses shelter licensing requirements. The city's plan intends to provide up to four months of temporary shelter for adult men seeking asylum who are already in the city's care while they try to secure work permits. The complaint also details multiple examples of the city's alleged "subterfuge."
