GOSHEN – Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus is frustrated over the lack of information coming from the federal government about three planeloads of immigrants flown last week from the southern border in Texas to Orange County Airport in Montgomery.
He wants “an open and honest dialogue” about those fights.
“We are going to have to continue to put pressure on it, because I think most Americans are sympathetic, but things being done clandestine and secretly always add to suspicion and confusion,” he said.
Following the flight last Friday, none of the three chaperones or bus driver would provide details, Neuhaus said.
Homeland Security told Mid-Hudson News that agency had nothing to do with the flights to Montgomery and Health and Human Services provided a generalized statement about the care of unaccompanied, underage children being placed around the country.
