NYC Mayor's Migrant Relocation Plan Sparks Controversy and State of Emergency Declaration.
TL;DR
Broome County Executive Jason Garnar declared a State of Emergency due to the potential relocation of asylum seekers from New York City to Broome County, citing a lack of available housing. Title 42, which allowed authorities to send asylum seekers back over the county’s southern border with Mexico over concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, is set to expire at midnight. The emergency order prohibits municipalities from outside of Broome County from making contracts with hotels, motels, and more without a permit issued by the county and vice versa.
