Parents and politicians are outraged that students were booted from a Brooklyn school to make room for nearly 2,000 migrants during Tuesday’s storm — and warned it could become part of the city’s playbook as officials stumble to keep pace with the runaway migrant crisis.
“We never know what’s going to happen with the weather,” state Assemblyman Michael Novakhov (R-Brooklyn) said outside James Madison High School.
“They can be moved here again depending on the weather conditions,” Novakhov said. “If the weather is bad again are migrants supposed to be moved to this school again? Because schools are not the place for migrants — as simple as that.”
The backlash stems from a last-minute decision by Mayor Eric Adams to bus hundreds of migrant families from a controversial tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field to the school 5 miles away — with asylum seekers forced to nap on a gym floor before being rustled back to the shelter just hours later.
Is this a joke? We have New Yorkers sleeping on the streets…
Adams doesn't care. That's why we need to vote him out before 2025.

Hey Mayor Adams!. Now you see what Texas has been dealing while you supported Biden's open borders. Maybe it's time you grew a spine and told Biden to close the border?
This city is full of idiots who are marching for another country and being ignorant to what you and the rest of Democrats are doing to our state and the city.
