The mayor’s decision NY, Eric Adamssending immigrants to hotels in the north of the state, due to the saturation in the city’s hostels, has not only generated legal battles, but has also affected the wedding plans of some couples.
The boda for Sean and Nicole is scheduled for within a week and they have everything ready to receive family and friends who would travel from Ecuador, Canada, England, Ireland and Japan after separating 37 rooms at The Crossroads hotel, in the city of Newburghen, county of Orange.
But, days after that ceremony, they do not know what will happen after all the reservations were canceled after the arrival of the first group of immigrants sent from the city by the Adams administration.
Sean told ABC Channel 7 on Saturday that they were hoping to share a hotel with the migrants, but were told The Crossroads will not be available for months to come.
Gary Moretti and Deanna Mifsud face the same situation with their bodascheduled for June 24, for which they had the more than 15 rooms they reserved at The Crossroads Hotel.
The flow of immigrants a NY since August 2022 it has caused a humanitarian and resource crisis, and saturated the city’s shelters, which had to resort to renting rooms in 120 hotels, which have also become saturated.
The city has received more than 67,000 people, including children, most from Venezuela, and is providing shelter, food and social services to more than 37,000 people.
As a result, Adams opted for hotels in Rockland and Orange, outside the city, encountering opposition from the top officials of these counties, both Republicans, who went to court to stop the Democrat.
The city of Yonkers, which borders the county of The Bronx, is expected to receive dozens of migrant families tomorrow, and as happened before with Rockand and Orange, its mayor complained that he had not been notified of this decision in advance.
Mayor Mike Spano told ABC that some 100 migrants will be sent to the Ramada Inn where they will stay for at least a year, and he assures that he found out about this on Friday from the police in his city and assured that he “did not hear anything” from the Mayor Adams.
“I have not spoken directly to the mayor. I spoke to his deputy chief of staff, who apologized and said I was on his list to call,” Spano complained.
City councilors (municipal legislators) denounced that they have not been notified when they have hosted immigrants in the areas they represent.
Meanwhile, Rockland County and the city will face off Monday in the first court hearing to decide whether to send immigrants, which the county managed to stop last Thursday pending the court’s decision. EFE
