Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams has plans to convert up to 20 gymnasiums linked to public schools into makeshift shelters for illegal immigrants arriving in the city.
Adams confirmed the illegal immigrant shelter plan in an interview with PIX 11 on Tuesday morning, amid concerns from local parents about child safety and how the plan could disrupt education. Adams explained that the 20 gymnasiums his office is looking at are in structures that are separate from the main school buildings.
