NYC sues multiple NY counties over migrant transport and asylum bans.
New York City has filed a lawsuit against over 30 upstate localities that issued emergency orders aimed at barring the city from housing migrants in hotels. The city’s suit names Rockland and Orange counties, in addition to 31 other counties and one town, that recently issued migrant-related emergency orders after New York Mayor Eric Adams announced his administration will begin busing migrants to private hotels in their areas. The suit also requests that the court deem the EOs “null and void” and invalidate them “in excess of authority, affected by an error of law, arbitrary and capricious, and an abuse of discretion.”
