NYC sues multiple counties over migrant policies and asylum seekers.

New York City has sued over 30 municipalities and local leaders in upstate New York, alleging that their emergency orders obstruct the city's efforts to relocate migrants upstate "in a manner that is explicitly permitted by law and required by a statewide emergency." The suit asks the state Supreme Court to invalidate the emergency orders filed by the counties under the grounds that they are unconstitutional. The battle between the city and some upstate leaders started last month when Rockland County declared a state of emergency after its leaders said they discovered New York City's plan to bus migrants to a hotel in the county.
