ALBANY, N.Y., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- On Sunday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order require all homeless people to seek shelter when temperatures drop below freezing.
The order directs state agencies -- including police, social services and others -- to take "all necessary steps to identify individuals reasonably believed to be homeless and unwilling or unable to find the shelter necessary for safety and health in inclement winter weather, and move such individuals to the appropriate sheltered facilities."
The directive goes into effect Tuesday.
A 2015 count tallied 88,250 homeless people in New York, statewide -- the highest homelessness rate since the Great Depression.

Cuomo ORDERS Homeless to seek shelter?!
There may be more to this than what it says. This could be just the first step in a roundup. Which could lead to “settlements”.
Well if he really cared he would send them to Hawaii where they will never freeze.
What a guy!!! He really cares. LOL!
Could be? My hairy purple donkey! It is a roundup. Read the article at the link.

If that isn't a roundup, I would like to know what is.
Looks like I missed that little detail.
Now, tell me about that purple donkey. Long or short hair?
Yeah, it was Mario Cuomo who emptied out the psych hospitals in the state, and most of them ended up in the state's prison system. I know, because I worked as an officer in it for 25 years.
