'Nothing is off the table,' New York City Mayor Eric Adams said when a Hudson Valley town supervisor suggested housing asylum-seekers at the Downstate Correctional Facility in Fishkill, N.Y.
ALBANY, N.Y.
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a fellow Democrat, said the prison should not be considered as a space to house migrants. “Some things should be off the table,” he said in a statement to POLITICO. “Zero cooperation. I’m sorry, Mr. Mayor,” said Republican Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus. He added that he was led to believe from the city and the state that the shipping of migrants to Orange County was on pause, only for a busload to show up Thursday.
Gov. Kathy Hochul told reporters Thursday she continues to work across the state to find facilities to house the asylum-seekers and help them get jobs. A group of 40 to 60 asylum-seekers arrived midday Thursday to a quiet hotel just off the New York State Thruway in the Town of Newburgh. | John Minchillo/AP Photo
