The decision to use a New York City high school to shelter 1,900 tent-dwelling illegal immigrants has outraged some parents and officials. They criticized the move as “foreseeable” and denounced the displacement of students, who will now “pivot” to remote learning.
Mayor Eric Adams’s office announced that because of an incoming storm, nearly 2,000 “families with children” who shelter at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn will be temporarily relocated to James Madison High School out of an “overabundance of caution,” according to Emergency Management Commissioner Zachary Iscol.
