A fight brewing in New York City over the company being paid more than $400 million to shelter and care for the tens of thousands of migrants who have arrived in the city should not end up costing Erie County to house and provide services to migrants here, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said. Poloncarz said that all indications are that New York City will continue to pay DocGo, the company that has increasingly come under fire for its handling of the migrant crisis. Meghan Maloney De Zaldivar, a director with the New York Immigration Coalition, said that compared with how asylum-seekers have been dropped off and processed in other parts of the state, Erie County's process has been far more successful.
