Orleans County has issued a state of emergency in response to the recent influx of migrants in New York state.

The declaration states that the county is already well above capacity for housing due to an increased number of homeless people.

Because of that, the county says it will not have room to house any migrants.

Orleans County Legislature Chairman Lynne M. Johnson also issued an emergency order that prohibits outside municipalities from making deals with people or businesses in the county to transport or house migrants.

Hotel, motel and property owners in the county are also prohibited from making contracts with other municipalities to provide housing to migrants, according to the order.

County officials say anyone in the county that houses a migrant will be given appearance tickets and fined up to $2,000 per migrant.

The state of emergency order will stay in effect for at least 30 days and the emergency order for at least five days.
