NY Judge Temporarily Blocks NYC Mayor's Plan to Send Asylum Seekers to Orange County Amid Migrant Crisis

A New York state supreme court judge has granted a temporary restraining order blocking New York Mayor Eric Adams from sending asylum seekers to nearby Orange County in his bid to ease the influx of migrants arriving in his city. The order allows for the 186 asylum seekers already at the Crossroads Hotel and Ramada by Wyndham in the Town of Newburgh to stay in the county, but new migrants won’t be allowed to take up residence at the hotels if any of the current occupants leave. The pushback comes as New York City scrambles to house a crush of migrants arriving in the city.
