Cops raid illegal migrant encampment on Randall's Island
City Hall, in a press release announcing the massive tent encampments Feb. 28 closure, said that the number of migrants housed in taxpayer-funded shelters had gone down for 14 consecutive weeks, and was now at its lowest level in more than a year.
These stubborn Floridians are refusing to evacuate from Milton, despite dire warnings that 'you will die'Over the next four months, a City Hall spokesperson said it would slow the rate at which newly-arrived single adult migrants are sent to Randall’s Island and gradually relocate them to other sites across the Big Apple as capacity allows.Once the camp is cleared, the city “will invest in restoring the remaining impacted athletic fields and parkland,” officials said.
The mega-shelter has become a source of contention as migrants who were kicked out after hitting the stay limit began creating their own encampments around it.
