New York City sues 30 counties over orders banning immigrant shelters

Mayor Eric Adams sues 30 suburban and upstate counties over their emergency orders aimed at blocking migrants from moving to their jurisdictions.
Federal court ruling says counties can't block people from moving to different parts of the state.
Adams claims that Gov. Kathy Hochul's declaration of a statewide emergency gives him the authority to move migrants outside the city.
The counties issued emergency declarations in response to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to bus willing migrants to hotels within their communities on a temporary basis.
The city’s suit names Rockland and Orange counties, in addition to 31 other counties and one town, that recently issued migrant-related emergency orders.
