Rockland County declares emergency to halt NYC migrant influx.

Rockland County officials have declared a state of emergency to prevent New York City from housing hundreds of migrants in the county. The declaration prohibits other municipalities from bringing and housing people in the county, bars hotels and motels from housing migrants without a license, and requires municipalities to cover their expenses. Orangetown officials are exploring ways to stop Mayor Adams' plan to bus the migrants from city shelters to their doorstep. The migrants are expected to be housed at the 170-room Armoni Inn and Suites. Nearly 61,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since last spring.
