Massport deems Boston's Logan Airport unsuitable for migrant housing

TL;DR Summary
Boston's Logan Airport has become an unintended refuge for migrants seeking shelter, with families staying there for months due to the state's emergency shelter system reaching its limit. Massport, the agency that operates the airport, has stated that it is not an appropriate place for migrants to stay. Governor Maura Healey has been focused on job placement to help immigrants pay for their own housing and alleviate the burden on the shelter system. With winter approaching, the situation highlights the need for additional shelter options and support for migrants in Massachusetts.
