A judge halted a Rockland County hotel from accepting migrants bused from New York City by issuing a temporary restraining order on Tuesday.
The Armoni Inn has been barred from housing migrants at their hotel – at least for now – after Orangetown officials took them to court over the city’s plan to ship asylum seekers from Big Apple shelters to hotels in Rockland and Orange counties.
Since Friday’s announcement by City Hall, local officials in both counties have voiced condemnation and residents have expressed fear and outrage.
State Supreme Court Judge Christie D’Alessio sided with Orangetown Tuesday when she issued a temporary restraining order that stops the hotel from turning into a shelter for non-transient guests, according to court documents.
The order also slammed the brakes on the hotel making any changes without the proper permits.
