NYC takes legal action against multiple counties over migrant relocation bans.

New York City has sued nearly half of the state's counties over their attempts to keep out international migrants, accusing at least 30 counties of seeking to "wall off their borders" to asylum seekers through "xenophobic" executive orders that violate state and federal law. The move triggered a cascade of emergency declarations by local officials, from Long Island to the Canadian border. On Tuesday, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction barring Rockland County and Orange County from enforcing their broad emergency orders that aimed to ban migrants from hotels.
