New York Gov. Kathy Hochul defended New York City Mayor Eric Adams' bussing of migrants upstate, saying asylum seekers are 'here legally.'
Carols Arellano, who formerly worked at the Row NYC Hotel, shares a glimpse inside one of New York City’s largest migrant hotels.
"We’ve been encouraging them to give as much notice as possible to county executives. Given the scale of people affected, it’s not always going to be perfect," Hochul said of Adams' plans to bus migrants upstate — andAround the expiration of Title 42, the city saw 5,800 people arrive in one week, and about 4,000 the week before. More than 48,000 migrants are currently housed in New York City shelters.
The governor thanked Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, a Democrat, for being receptive to accepting migrants from New York City, but said there was no plan to send them there just yet. Hochul did say the state capital of Albany,"with notice to the mayor there," received migrants from New York City and the transfer"is going well from what we hear."
About two dozen migrants arrived at a SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western in Colonie on Saturday night, the New York Daily News reported. The town government sued New York City In Albany Supreme Court, alleging the Adams administration"made no attempt to communicate" with the town on its transfer plans.
