New York Town Declares State of Emergency
To Address Migrant Crisis

The town of Riverhead, New York, declared a state of emergency on Tuesday night in anticipation of
a potential crisis of migrant hordes invading the idyllic community.
The declaration of the state of emergency was issued by Riverhead Supervisor Yvette Aguiar on Tuesday
and followed reports that officials in the city of New York were scheming to relocate a portion of its
unwanted migrant population to the small Long Island town.
“Tonight, based on information received and in response to reports that the New York City Department
of Homeless Services has, or will be arranging for the transportation and relocation of undocumented
migrants and/or asylum seekers to hotels or motels within the Town of Riverhead, Supervisor Aguiar
declared a State of Emergency,” the declaration explains.
The crisis derives from an advisory issued by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who requested that
several housing facilities in Riverhead house unwanted immigrants currently in New York City for a year.
Adams offered to pay for the cost of housing these populations, and three facilities in Riverhead
accepted his offer, prompting Aguiar to declare the state of emergency in order to prevent the arrival
of the aliens.
“Relative to the surrounding townships on the East End and throughout Suffolk County, Riverhead has
done more than its share when it comes to housing the homeless, providing services, and offering
affordable housing, and our resources and taxpayers simply cannot withstand further demand on our
public services,” Aguiar said in a statement.
The situation is a consequence of the challenges New York City has encountered as it tries to manage
its large and growing illegal immigrant population, providing shelter for the masses of people transported
to New York from states along the United States’ border with Mexico.
The city has proposed school gymnasiums as a potential solution for the question of how to house
these populations. Many experts expect an impending surge of immigration due to the recent expiration
of Title 42, a policy introduced during the pandemic state of emergency which allowed the U.S. federal
government to expel immigrants on the basis of public health.
