by obtaining a temporary restraining order from a judge, blocking the Armoni Inn and Suites in Orangetown from accepting the asylum seekers.The injunction is against the Orangetown hotel, not the city. The Adams administration said it will let the hotel decide whether to still accept migrants, but will likely let the legal process play out.
The county and town plan to discuss "additional enforcement actions executed against the Armoni" during a press conference later Wednesday morning. Mayor Adams' spokesman released a statement saying, "New York City has cared for more than 61,000 migrants - sheltering, feeding, and caring for them, and we have done so largely without incident. We need the federal government to step up, but until they do, we need other elected officials around the state and country to do their part.
Earlier this week, Rockland County Executive Ed Day spoke out against Mayor Adams' plan, saying they cannot handle the influx of migrants. "We are not equipped to humanely assist these individuals, which eventually we're going to have to do," Day said.
