Suffolk County officials announced their intention to prevent New York City from potentially sending hundreds of migrants seeking asylum to the Long Island community.
After dramatic pushback and fiery words between NYC leaders and officials in Hudson Valley, the Suffolk County Legislature held a press conference on Sunday declaring potential legal action to stop the city from busing any migrants out to the county. No officials plan have been announced by Mayor Eric Adams or the city.
"I want to be this is not an anti-immigration stance," McCaffrey started saying, and was met by a thunderous outcry from a group of protesters attending the morning briefing. He and other officials were repeatedly met by chants of"no hate, no fear -- immigrants are welcome here."
