"Asylum seekers" have already worn out welcome in upstate New York

A 22-year-old asylum seeker was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting an employee inside of a local hotel, officials announced Saturday.

And according to Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, no more asylum seekers will be sent to Western New York from New York City while security efforts involving asylum seekers work to improve.

During a press conference Saturday morning, officials said Kindu Jeancy, an asylum seeker from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was arrested Friday, after a 27-year-old Buffalo woman filed a complaint with the Cheektowaga Police Department around 4 p.m.

Jeancy was charged with sexual abuse in the first degree and unlawful imprisonment following an investigation by the police department.
