A high school in New York City will be used to temporarily accommodate over 2,000 illegal immigrants, with students told they will instead take classes online remotely.
Mayor Eric Adams (D) ordered the relocation of illegals currently occupying a shelter at Floyd Bennett Field to James Madison High School, amid a winter storm set to bring rain, snow and extremely high wind gusts.

NY Daily News reports, “About two dozen yellow school buses began lining up outside the shelters at Floyd Bennett late Tuesday afternoon.”
The mayor’s office on Tuesday released a statement reading, “The health and safety of migrants in our care is always a top priority, which is why we are currently overseeing the relocation of 1,900 guests from the humanitarian emergency response and relief center at Floyd Bennett Field due to an updated forecast with increased wind speeds estimated to be at over 70 MPH tonight.”

“This relocation is a proactive measure being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals working and living at the center.”
Meanwhile, in-person classes for American high school students will be suspended over the following day.
NY Daily News writes:
As a result of the relocation, students at Madison won’t be attending classes in-person and instead will be taught remotely, according to a Department of Education memo obtained by the Daily News. According to an Education Department source, migrant families are scheduled to leave the building before classes start Wednesday morning, but the school’s principal Jodie Cohen requested that the school operate remotely anyway.
Local legislators criticized the mayor’s office, chastising the administration for using Bennett Field as a temporary shelter despite their previous warnings against doing so.
“These are the concerns that we shared with the administration from Day One,” said Republican District 32 councilwoman Joann Ariola. “I hate to say ‘I told you so,’ but I told you so.”

“We need to halt this whole failed project immediately, and end our status as a right to shelter city,” she later added.
Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov blasted Adams and the Biden administration for the crisis now affecting students.

“There are approximately 4,000 students who attend Madison High School. Their parents are rightfully concerned. Our constituents who live in the vicinity are concerned for their safety and wellbeing,” Vernikov wrote.
“This incident confirms what we knew all along, the camp at Floyd Bennett Field is unsustainable,” wrote New York State Assembly candidate Thomas P. Sullivan.

Members of Adams’ own party also criticized the relocation, with City Comptroller Brad Lander characterizing the move as an example of “the mismanagement and waste of money that is all-too-present in City Hall’s approach to shelter and services for asylum seekers.”
As The Big Apple continues to deal with fallout from America’s collapsed southern border, it remains to be seen if NYC will revise its Sanctuary City policies and tell illegals they’re not welcome.
