Controversy Erupts Over Migrant Relocation to Roxbury Recreation Center

A community leader in Boston criticized Mayor Michelle Wu for relocating migrants to a recreation center, arguing that the move is neglecting the needs of the local community. He expressed frustration that public resources are being expended on the migrant issue while regular Bostonians lack similar support. Residents questioned why a predominantly-Black neighborhood was chosen for the relocation, suggesting that voting percentages may have played a role. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey defended the decision, citing the necessity of taking action against the migrant influx and assuring that the site will only be temporary.
