Hochul's order may also help to subdue frustrations brought by Mayor Adams' recent announcement of plans to move migrants to empty hotels in Rockland and Orange counties.
We are in communication with the mayor’s team and also helping him find locations within the city limits, opening up state property and talking to other counties that are interested in having people come, Gov. Kathy Hochul, via statement.
Hochul said a main hurdle is getting migrants approved to begin working legally.
The number one priority for those here is to be able to get a job. We want them to get employment, but there’s constraint at the federal level as far as their designation, Gov. Kathy Hochul, via statement
