"NYC City Hall Evacuates 2,000 Migrants to Schools During Severe Storm"

City officials hastily evacuated hundreds of migrant families from a tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn to a nearby high school during a severe storm, drawing criticism from homeless rights advocates and migrants. The sudden move disrupted families and drew ire from local parents, with some migrants describing the chaotic and stressful experience. The evacuation came as evictions began for migrant families staying in a Manhattan hotel, and the city faced backlash for its handling of the situation. The use of the public school as a temporary shelter sparked controversy, with some residents and right-wing commentators expressing anger, while homeless rights advocates criticized the lack of appropriate shelter for families with children.
