.RepDesposito, a Republican congressman from Long Island, accused NYCMayor Eric Adams of playing politics and sabotaging his tour through a warehouse at JFK International Airport where hundreds of adult immigrant men are now being housed.
Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, a first-term lawmaker whose Nassau County district runs up along JFK, had received confirmation Thursday for an official scheduled walk-through of the building, but he was ultimately barred from entering.
Hundreds of men were moved into the facility Wednesday, but D'Esposito was not let inside the site despite his status as a federal lawmaker. The government employees who he spoke with painted a bleak picture of what life was like inside the warehouse and suggested the way men were housed was in violation of the city's own human care standards, such as for homeless facilities. Endless rows of cots fill the space and there is no privacy or rooms.
Because the warehouse is located on restricted property that the public cannot access and the men living on site cannot freely walk around outside, the city has brought in buses to transport those on site from the warehouse to an undisclosed location off-site.
