The illegal alien tent city at Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field is set to shut down, along with 24 other shelters in the city beginning next year.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams made an announcement on Tuesday that the shutdowns are possible due to a decline in illegals entering the city over the last few months and "the administration's successful asylum seeker management strategies."
-- including reticketing, case management, and 30- and 60-day notices -- the number of asylum seekers in city shelters has decreased for 22 straight weeks and is now at its lowest point in over 17 months. New York state, which was paying the costs of sheltering migrants at Floyd Bennett Field, will continue to reimburse New York City for costs for equivalent care incurred at other sites across the city.
NYC residents have been speaking out against the Floyd Bennett Field facility for over a year.
In early September, residents went out into the streets to call for its closure, as can be seen in the video below.
