New York City officials plan to send a some asylum-seekers to a suburban hotel despite fierce resistance from local leaders and a judge's order temporarily blocking the use of a different hotel.
Mayor Eric Adams caused an uproar north of the city by announcing Friday that the city would send north up to 300 single, adult men to two hotels in suburban Rockland County and neighboring Orange County for up to four months. The Democratic mayor's plan comes as the city struggles to deal with a surge of about 60,000 asylum-seekers since last spring, many of whom were bused to the city by out-of-state governors.
