"New York Counties Declare State of Emergency Over Asylum Seeker Influx"
Cayuga and Cortland County have declared a State of Emergency and Emergency order, respectively, to not allow county hotels, motels, owners of multi-family homes, or owners of property to accept undocumented immigrants that are seeking entry into the county. Both counties are facing an increase in their homeless population and are not prepared for a flood of asylum seekers. The orders will remain in effect until removed or extended an additional 30 days.
