Orange Lake motel where migrants were to be housed

Neuhaus said the issue is reaching far beyond Orange and Rockland counties. “All the county executives in New York State are in panic mode.

The Western Tier New York is now being targeted as the next wave to get some of these migrants and the problem is that we have, the hotels in Orange County are booked until January,” said.
Neuhaus also noted hotel rooms across the Hudson Valley are booked for West Point graduation in two weeks, as well as for weddings and tourists.
