Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams has lost control…
According to a New York Post report, rogue migrants have established a mini tent city outside the Randall’s Island migrant facility. These are migrants who have been kicked out of other shelters.
“For the past month or so, we will come here, and there’ll be one or two tents set up, and we’ll ask them to take them down,” a city Parks Department enforcement officer told The Post at the site on Sunday.
“But every day when we come back, there’s more.”
From The New York Post:
Parks workers on Sunday morning broke down one shabby encampment that had been housing about 21 asylum-seekers barred from the island’s 2,000-bed tent city erected in August after timing out on its 60-day residency limit.
The rogue migrants had set up their own tarps and tents on a grassy strip just outside the tent city, even erecting tables to peddle coffee and hot chocolate to other asylum-seekers legally living in the site’s massive sanctioned tents.
“We’ll move them out and correct the situation that’s been developing, but when I came back from vacation a few days ago, there were seven tents joined together by big tarps, and as you can see, more and more scooters,” the Parks officer said.
“We’re telling them that they can’t set up tables here and sell coffee to the migrants inside, but they’re being told by security inside that as long as they go outside, on the other side of this fence, they are fine to do it,” the exasperated city worker said.
“They tell us that they can no longer stay inside, they’ve run out of days, and they have nowhere to go, so that’s why they are staying here,” the officer said of the rogue migrants. “We explain to them that they can’t just set up a tent in the park.”
More than 162,000 migrants from the US border have been processed in the Big Apple since the spring of 2022.
