NYC Mayor and County Officials Clash Over Handling of Migrant Influx

New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticized Rockland County Executive Ed Day for blocking asylum seekers from heading to his district. Dozens of migrants arrived at an Orange County hotel just hours after New York City said it was temporarily backing off its plans. Adams’ push to relocate the asylum seekers to Orange and Rockland counties this week has been met with fierce criticism — and legal action — from the top pols up there as they frantically sought to thwart with the Big Apple’s plans. The New York Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against both Rockland and Orange counties for attempting to thwart the relocation of migrants.
