At least 2,000 people will be provided shelter at a former airfield in Brooklyn as New York City copes with an influx of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from the southern border.

On Monday, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on X, formerly Twitter, that a “tentative contract” was made with the Biden administration to house the illegal immigrants, some of whom may qualify as genuine asylum seekers, at Floyd Bennett Field.
