Despite enacting a State of Emergency in Orange County, migrants arrived there Thursday morning.
New York City sent a bus with asylum seekers"Last night, both the State and City assured the Town of Newburgh and Orange County that no buses with asylum seekers would be here until further notice. The process has been a disorganized disaster and the blame lies with the Mayor of New York, who originally opened the door for as many undocumented immigrants as possible to his self-proclaimed sanctuary city, and the Governor.
"We wanted to counter the tone that has unfortunately been set by our county executive here that has created a lot of fear mongering, a lot of xenophobic sentiment, a lot of bigotry," said Genesis Ramos, Orange County Legislator. "This guy has a record of being anti-Semitic, racist comments. His thoughts and how he responded to this, he really shows a lack of leadership. I thought he was the Texas governor, the way he acted. We are going to continue to challenge the legal challenges and continue to pursue, you can't use the courts to deny people to move around the state of New York," Adams said.
