Multiple Counties Declare State of Emergency Over Migrant Influx
TL;DR
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz has announced that he will not declare a State of Emergency for Erie County over an influx of migrants in New York State, despite several counties across the state declaring States of Emergencies over the possibility that asylum seekers could be placed in their counties. Poloncarz claims that issuing an order is illegal under Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and also called an order “morally repugnant.”
