Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt and members of the Western New York legislative delegation have expressed concerns to Governor Kathy Hochul regarding illegal migrants entering Western New York. This follows the termination of a contract with DocGo NYC.
The lawmakers' letter outlines several issues, including the potential cost to local taxpayers for new housing arrangements. They also question whether residents in existing facilities will be informed about migrants moving in and who will be responsible for tracking individuals due for asylum hearings.
