New York sheriff refuses to enforce Andrew Cuomo’s Thanksgiving order

Published



A New York sheriff said that he will not direct his department to enforce Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s 10-guest limit for Thanksgiving dinners.

“With regard to the Thanksgiving Executive Order, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office will NOT be enforcing it against our County residents,” said Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino in a Facebook post. “Frankly, I am not sure it could sustain a Constitutional challenge in Court for several reasons including your house is your castle. And as a Sheriff with a law degree I couldn’t in good faith attempt to defend it Court, so I won’t.”
