Quarantine Camps in New York and the Fraudulent Associated Press

New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s quarantine camp regulation that would allow the seizure and indefinite detention of anyone suspected of exposure to a communicable disease was restored last week by a decision of the New York Appellate Division’s Fourth Judicial Department. The Appellate Division overturned a lower court’s decision issued last year that had voided the Governor’s rule.

The lead attorney fighting this case, Bobbie Anne Cox, has posted a detailed substack explaining precisely what has happened and what we might expect to come next. Here is a press release from the plaintiffs in the case including multiple state senators and assembly members.

Back in September when the case was argued in the Appellate Court, the Associated Press issued a “fact check” saying those posting about the case using the term “quarantine camps” were spreading disinformation. This fact check was quickly utilized to censor social media posts that used the words “quarantine camp” to describe the regulation.

The AP piece was titled “New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is not trying to create ‘quarantine camps.’” What the AP intentionally left out was that Hochul was actively fighting in court to gain back the right to create quarantine camps at any moment. So even if they were “not trying to create” quarantine camps in the very moment the AP published their report, Hochul and her Attorney General Tish James were fighting to have the authority to do so if they ever so chose.

And now, they have officially won back the legal right to detain people in quarantine camps, or in hospitals, or in their own homes wearing an ankle bracelet, or absolutely anywhere the New York Governor or the state’s health department decide to detain anyone merely suspected of having been exposed to a communicable disease with no proof that they have actually contracted said disease. They even have the right to separate families, including separating parents from their children, if either party is suspected of having been exposed to a communicable disease.

There has been a virtual mainstream media black out on this shocking story.
