"NYC High School Faces Backlash for Sheltering Migrants During Storm"

A Brooklyn high school that sheltered nearly 2,000 migrants during a rainstorm received a bomb threat and "hate calls," prompting city officials to denounce the actions as criminal offenses. The decision to use the school as a shelter sparked outrage among some residents, politicians, and Elon Musk. Despite the migrants returning to their original shelter, the high school operated via remote learning, fueling anger among elected officials and parents. City officials defended the use of the school as standard procedure for emergencies, while acknowledging the less than ideal conditions.
