Lawsuit Filed as Homeless Vets are Evicted From Hotels Choosing to House Migrants
May 15, 2023 | New York
As dozens of migrants check in to Orange County, New York hotels, the county’s executive has sued to stop the immigration surge after watching veterans get kicked out for migrant vacancies.
“We’re waiting, hopefully, today to get a temporary restraining order from the Supreme Court. We’re in front of a judge right now, we’re waiting for her to make a decision which would help us, but we are really on our own,” Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said on “Varney & Co.” Monday.
“But it is a tough situation,” he continued, “and unfortunately, we’re seeing people like our veterans kicked out of the hotels in exchange for homeless migrants in New York City.”
According to the Orange County official, state police and the sheriff’s office have continued to uphold the migrants’ emergency declaration, but ordered them to “run to hotels.” In response, Neuhaus filed a restraining order directed at New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ migrant transportation plan and the hotels housing them.
