Adams administration drops scores of lawsuits against upstate NY towns refusing migrantsBy Craig McCarthy
Published Sep. 18, 2023
Mayor Eric Adams’ administration has quietly dropped legal action against more than a dozen upstate counties that issued emergency orders banning migrants from being bused to their doorstep.
The city filed a lawsuit in June suing 31 counties over the orders, describing the edicts as “misguided and unlawful.”
The emergency orders came in response to Adams announcing his administration would begin busing asylum seekers to private hotels outside of the Big Apple.
City Hall confirmed to The Post on Monday that it has dropped 17 counties from the lawsuit.The move was first reported by Newday.
The legal challenges were abandoned after a judge ruled that the city would have to bring each case in the individual counties, making it a logistical nightmare for the Big Apple’s legal department.
