Migrants housed in a NYC school
Asked about how he would address the issue of undocumented immigrants entering the US, DeSantis criticized New York City officials for shifting asylum seekers to a school for temporary shelter.
“New York City had to close a school,” he said. “You literally have kids told, ‘Don’t go to school,’ because they commandeered the school to be able to house illegal aliens.”
Facts First: DeSantis’ comment needs context. New York City Mayor Eric Adams and his administration moved 1,900 asylum seekers from a tent shelter in Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn to James Madison High School for one night last week to shield them from a storm. The high school students went to class remotely the following day and then returned to the Brooklyn school the day after that.
