Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said he would not allow New York City to move migrants into Nassau Coliseum or anywhere else in the county.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday called for Gov. Kathy Hochul to issue an executive order to stop localities from preventing migrant housing in their regions.from New York City would be housed at a former NHL arena or anywhere else in Nassau County.
"Nassau County views this as a federal problem. Not a local problem. And there is no plan whatsoever to house any migrants within the borders of Nassau County. We want to make that clear because there’s been speculation about that. We’ve gotten a lot of constituent calls. "It is not going to happen here in Nassau County," Blakeman insisted."I’ve also been in contact with local school districts who have reiterated to me that they do not want a migrant program in Nassau County. Basically, their classrooms are full. They haven’t budgeted for any additional students, and they haven’t done any planning for additional students.
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, a Democrat, said earlier this week that New York State ought to look at Nassau Coliseum to house asylum seekers.
