New York Post: NY House GOP tells Biden to keep ‘secret’ flights of migrants out of Empire State
House Republicans from New York are urging President Biden to stop secretly transporting illegal immigrants from the southern border to New York and other parts of the US.
The letter they sent to the president references The Post’s exclusive exposé last week about one of the clandestine flights arriving at Westchester County Airport in August — an encounter caught on police body cam footage.
“We urge you to immediately cease any activities of transporting illegal immigrants by plane, or any other method, from the Southern Border to New York State,” reads the letter, penned by House Republican Conference chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik.
” … We demand you provide Congress and all New Yorkers with the current location and status of each illegal immigrant you have transferred to our state. The New Yorkers we represent are entitled to know how your failure to address the crisis at our Southern Border continues to impact their communities and day-to-day lives.”
The letter is co-signed by Republicans Congress members Nicole Malliotakis of Staten Island; Lee Zeldin, the presumptive GOP nominee for governor from Long Island; Andrew Garbarino of Long Island and upstaters Claudia Tenney and Chris Jacobs.
