Order allows communities across state to pick homeless people from streets as Andrew Cuomo says he does not want to argue over ‘right to freeze to death’unique York governor Andrew Cuomo on Sunday signed an order allowing communities statewide to pick homeless people from the streets and into shelters when temperatures reach freezing.
Cuomo said he does not want to “argue an individual’s right to freeze to death” by staying out on the streets and defying his order. He added that he was prepared for any legal challenge over “a civil right to sleep on the street and freeze”.
