Excerpt>>135769NYC students forced to go remote as city houses nearly 2K migrants at their school — one mom goes off: ‘Does it feel good?’Published Jan. 9, 2024
Students at a Brooklyn high school were kicked out of the classroom to make room for nearly 2,000 migrants who were evacuated from a controversial tent shelter due to a monster storm closing in on the Big Apple.
The city made the move amid concerns that a massive migrant tent at Floyd Bennett Field would collapse from torrential rains and gusting winds — packing them instead into the second-floor gym at James Madison High School five miles away.

By midday, officials were already prepping the high school for the migrants’ arrival from the airfield about five miles away, with 10 marked NYPD vehicles and a half-dozen Emergency Management trucks parked outside.
“They told us we had to get everything out by 5 [p.m.],” gym teacher Robyn Levy said outside the school.
