Rockland County in State of Emergency Over NYC's Plan to Send Migrants North
TL;DR
Rockland County Executive Ed Day declared a state of emergency prohibiting any outside municipality from bringing people to Rockland County for housing, in response to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ plans to relocate migrants from city shelters to hotels in the Hudson Valley. Adams’ relocation plan was met with resistance from Rockland County officials who criticized the lack of resources and infrastructure to care for the migrants. Immigrant advocates also condemned the plan, calling it a temporary fix to New York City’s housing problems.
