New York lawmakers are pushing for more transparency in asylum seekers’ relocations with proposals requiring advance notice to local governments when migrants are moved to upstate counties.

The bill filed by state Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, D-Rotterdam, calls for setting statewide guidelines to require advance notice to state and municipal officials before any resettlement, transportation, or relocation of migrants within New York state.
The move directly responds to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s efforts to relocate asylum seekers to upstate hotels as the city grapples with tens of thousands of migrants.
