NYC to Close Migrant Shelters Ahead of Political Shift
TL;DR Summary
New York City plans to close the migrant shelter at Floyd Bennett Field by January 15, ahead of President-elect Trump's inauguration, amid concerns it could be repurposed as a detention center. This closure is part of a broader plan to shut down 24 shelters by March, as the city sees a decline in migrant numbers. Mayor Eric Adams credits federal border restrictions and city management strategies for the decrease. The city aims to phase out the migrant shelter system by 2026, transferring control back to the Department of Homeless Services.
