Broome County Executive Jason Garnar will announce an executive order meant to ban lodging establishments from accepting asylum seekers on behalf of New York City, WSKG has confirmed.
The announcement will bring Broome County in line with other counties including Orange, Rockland and Rensselaer, in issuing orders meant to prevent New York City from signing contracts with hotels to house asylum seekers in recent days.
This comes as the U.S. braces for a major wave of asylum seekers to enter the country, as the federal COVID-19 emergency expires at midnight Thursday, and with it, Title 42, a Trump-era policy allowing migrants to be returned to Mexico once detained.
New York City has been challenged in providing emergency assistance to hundreds of displaced asylum seekers. A memo obtained by CBS2 shows that city officials anticipate as many as 800 asylum seekers to arrive per day after the expiration of Title 42.
Multiple sources familiar with Broome County government operations confirmed that Garnar would issue the executive order Thursday, modeled after one issued by Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus on Monday. That order bans hotels, motels and other short-term rentals from entering into a contract with municipal governments, such as New York City, for the purpose of housing asylum seekers.
Garnar is set to announce specifics of the order in a press conference Thursday afternoon.
Despite Orange County’s order, a bus of asylum seekers arrived in Newburgh Thursday, drawing into question just how effective executive action will be in preventing New York City from moving the migrants.
There are ways around this but what property owner in their right mind would do this anyway unless the money was ridiculously good? Too many repair and cleaning expenses to make this worth it otherwise.
But i thought liberals just loved illegals? /s
"unless the money was ridiculously good" - is your answer, especially for an absentee landlord since it's a hotel.
The hotel owner is quite willing to ruin the neighbors' lives for money.
Let’s hope something like this splits NY State.
100 years ago, Upstate and NY City were on the same trajectory.
Now the two parts of the state could not be more different in every way.
The ideal solution would be to split the State along the Hudson, from Albany to NY City. The rest of Upstate could function as a normal state, more like Ohio or Indiana.
The Feds and state of NY can order the hotels to take them.
I would think that this essentially shuts down a hotel and makes it into a section 8 housing?
this sems to be a LONG term housing project. It could take months/ years to get them out of a hotel once there.
And who would pay to stay in a hotel that is 80%+ “migrants”?
REPAIR is more like demo & rebuild
“Too many repair and cleaning expenses to make this worth it otherwise.”
Problem is if they can pass a background check, and they have no financial history, how do you determine they are illegals? A landlord cannot legally deny a rental application based on country of origin, and hotel rooms are rentals, so there are no grounds to refuse them.
The intent of the order is to, of course, protect the people’s property, but past laws cannot require the renter of the room to provide this information. And you can be assured they won’t.

...not without a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) which is issued by the municipality or sometimes the county.
Doubt this applies where its a city doing the contracting (and on such a massive basis), as opposed to individuals seeking lodging on their own.
I’m only referring to landlords who would WANT to circumvent this county executive order if they thought that the income was worth the trouble that the illegals were going to create. Otherwise, yep, I’m a landlord, it’s almost impossible to keep them out if there’s no previous record.
Possibly even in NY the political cost would be too much and they would leave it to the feds. We might see some court cases over this.
I get the sense that the hotels looking to take in these mutants aren’t modern, successful business establishments, but are already older, run-down places that cater to a seedy customer base.
Then again absurd notions can prevail in leftist courts.
How long before some judge in NYC rules this illegal?
I thought so too!
I wouldn’t!
If it’s a disaster declaration they can. And that’s exactly what they are doing. And your tax dollars are paying for it.
“Doubt this applies where its a city doing the contracting...”
I didn’t look at the actual ban, but it appeared from the wording to be the actual people just trying to get rooms at hotels. If the hotels are not owned by the government, I don’t think they can usurp the property usage established for private owners. Nor can the private owners arbitrarily change their established policies to twist the laws if it is for a reason they can’t establish.
Could be interesting.
