Controversy over NYC Mayor's plan to relocate migrants to neighboring counties.
TL;DR
New York City Mayor Eric Adams' plan to send 340 adult male migrants to live at a hotel in Orangeburg, New York, for four months has been rebuked by officials representing some New York suburbs, including Rockland County, which declared a state of emergency. Adams announced he was sending migrants to neighboring New York counties in response to the rising numbers of asylum seekers arriving in the city, which is reportedly overwhelming the city's shelter system. The Trump-era Title 42 border policy, which allows the U.S. to expel migrants without them being allowed to apply for asylum, is set to expire on Thursday.
