County Executive Ed Day declared the emergency, citing Mayor Eric Adams' plan to relocate migrants there from New York City.
New York City is scrambling to figure out where all of the arriving asylum seekers will be housed.Five buses arrived Friday from Texas carrying men, women and families.
NYC is now considering a number of possible solutions outlined in a draft memo including gyms at local colleges, public schools once classes are out, tents in public parks like Central Park and Prospect Park and parking lots at Citi Field.On Friday, the mayor announced a new strategy. The city would begin paying for shelter at two suburban locations, two hotels, one in Orange Lake, Orange County and one in Orangeburg, Rockland County.
"New York has received the brunt of close to 60,000 of those who are coming to the city to participate in the American dream and we're not giving them the resources," Adams said. "He didn't talk to us, he didn't say anything, he just went off and said, you know what I'm going to send them to Rockland, screw Rockland. Well, Mr. Adams, Mayor Adams, you are in for a fight now," Day said in a radio interview.
