Mid-Hudson News reports that several Republican Congressional representatives from the Hudson Valley sent a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams opposing using state-owned facilities to house migrants. While Hudson Valley Reps. Mike Lawler and Elise Stefanik signed the letter, Rep. Marc Molinaro's name was missing. Molinaro recently pushed through a bill banning housing mirgants from being housed in schools.

New York City wants to to use SUNY campuses, vacant prisons, and military bases to house migrants, many being bused to New York by Republican governors in Florida and Texas.
