Orangetown, New York Supervisor Teresa Kenny joined 'Fox & Friends' on Monday to discuss Mayor Eric Adams' push to bus migrants into neighboring suburbs.
"I got a call from the mayor himself around 11 o'clock on Friday saying that there was this program, and it was very preliminary, like it might be happening," she said.Kenny said pressing the mayor's team yielded no results, and they pledged to get back in touch with her about the program later.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 03: A bus carrying asylum seekers arrives at Port Authority on May 03, 2023 in New York City.Adams, who announced the initiative on Friday, looked to house over 300 single male migrants seeking asylum by providing them temporary housing in hotels in Orange Lake and Orangeburg., which fuels expectations that greater migrant influxes could wreak havoc on the city itself and create a need to place these migrants elsewhere to offset costs.
"Out concern is public safety," Kenny told Kilmeade."We don't know if there have been background checks on these people. Anyone who's been around for a long time knows we had a very sad incident where someone was killed by an immigrant… I'm not saying I think all immigrants are criminals – it just takes one, and we're not getting any answers.
Kenny said she has other officials on the case after making complaints, including state and federal representatives. Taylor Penley is a production assistant with Fox News. Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
