Migrants arrive in Albany County as pols blame NYC Mayor Adams for ‘organized chaos’By Zach Williams

ALBANY – Capital Region pols are blasting Mayor Eric Adams for bussing approximately five dozen migrant asylum seekers into their communities with little notice over the weekend.
“They’re saying there’s probably going to be another bus of 150 coming up and it’s alarming because we want to do this right,” County Executive Dan McCoy said after several dozen migrants arrived at an Albany hotel on Sunday.
“We want to be part of the solution – not part of the problem, but it’s organized chaos right now.”
About two dozen other migrants are also staying at a motel on a commercial strip in the Town of Colonie despite an emergency order aimed at blocking their arrival without county approval.
“While that order did not necessarily exclude the possibility of migrants being housed within the county, it distinctly required a collaborated and coordinated deliberate plan amongst state, county, and local officials as well as non-profit organizations,” Town Supervisor Peter Crummey said, according to the Albany Times Union.
