New York City plans to remove from Orange County hotels all illegal immigrants in the city’s care by the end of the year, according to a Sept. 11 court filing.

If the plan is implemented, it will end a year-long state court battle between the city and the county over whether the former had legally set up temporary hotels-turned-shelters in Orange County when its own system was maxed out in May 2023.
