A state of emergency was declared in Rockland County where officials there say they 'would not stand' for New York City's decision to shuttle hundreds of migrants north amid hotel occupancy concerns in the city.
Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny said that Mayor Eric Adams called her Friday morning with the news.
"Mayor Adams is always whining about he and other mayors who are African American have been picked on by Republicans...turn around and now what is he doing? He's doing the exact same thing," Day said."He's bringing migrants to Republican towns. Orange County, Republican county. Rockland County, Republican county. How interesting is that?"
Kenny, also a Republican, said city officials told her that all the migrants being taken to the hotel in her town are single men, but it's unclear when they're coming and how many will be staying at the hotel.
