Counties Get Relief

In a case that has direct consequences for several counties surrounding New York City… including Putnam County… a judge has ruled against the city in migrant relocation lawsuits. New York City had filed a petition against Putnam and the other counties, claiming that signed executive orders prohibiting New York City from relocating migrants to those jurisdictions was illegal. Now a judge has sided with the counties, and has now ordered the cases to be transferred to the individual counties.
