Rockland County Officials Stand Firm Against NYC's Migrant Bus Plan

Rockland County Executive Ed Day has declared a state of emergency to fight New York City Mayor Eric Adams' plan to bus up to 300 single adult male migrants to hotels in Rockland and Orange counties. Day said the state of emergency will prohibit other municipalities from bringing people to Rockland County and will prohibit hotels and motels from housing immigrants without a license. The state of emergency will remain in effect for at least 30 days and include fines of $2,000 per migrant for the hotels and for any municipality that sends migrants to Rockland.
