But for the American political class And the National security establishment, this is a necessary move, one that was years in the making, not something that was just come up with on the fly. And ultimately, it all comes down to China and this idea that you can’t have a social media app like this, a source of news like this, that is even at all at risk of being influenced by the Chinese government and our greatest adversaries. So it’s very clear that TikTok plans to challenge this law in court.

New York City moving migrants into school gyms: Mayor Adams

We’ve been very clear for the last two weeks that New York City is out of space. Zach Iscol, the commissioner of New York City Emergency Management, said at a briefing Wednesday that the school received hate calls and a bomb threat Wednesday morning. James Madison High School wrote in a Facebook post late Tuesday that all classes would be remote the next day. On Wednesday afternoon, another post announced that “regular in-person instruction” would resume on Thursday. But the move was temporary, the migrants were at James Madison High School for less than 12 hours. In Denver, Colorado, new arrivals are being turned away from overcrowded shelters.

New York City Plans to House Migrant Families in Public School Gymnasium

Mother Jayne Lipkovich told "Fox & Friends" the decision to "prioritize" asylum seekers over city families has been "really upsetting." Adams has repeatedly said the city is running out of options as migrants continue to swarm the city after last week’s termination of Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allowed for the quick expulsion of some asylum-seekers over COVID-19 concerns. In the wee hours Tuesday at another Brooklyn school gym, a small busload of migrant men was dropped off to stay there for a few hours before being whisked off again, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told The Post.

Mayor Eric Adams looks to house migrants in empty NYC public schools over the summer

The Daily News reported that some migrants were already staying at P.S. With no clear solutions at hand, the city turned to shelter some migrants in public school gyms starting last week. That plan, like many others before it, was almost immediately met with outrage — not only from activists and human rights groups, but also from public school parents and the ranks of everyday New Yorkers. New York (AP) — New York City has begun to convert public school gymnasiums into housing for international migrants, its latest effort to accommodate a growing population of asylum-seekers who have overwhelmed the city’s homeless shelter system. New York City has begun to convert public school gymnasiums into housing for international migrants, its latest effort to accommodate a growing population of asylum-seekers who have overwhelmed the city’s homeless shelter system. Twenty school gyms are currently being considered for temporary housing.

Ron DeSantis said a NYC school displaced students to house migrants. Here’s what happened.

To free speech advocates, this would be dystopian, unheard of for the government to crack down on an app with such wide usage by Americans. And they’re also caught a bit off guard, just because there have been these years of efforts to do something about TikTok. People on the app have been hearing about a TikTok ban, really, since 2020. And he said that this law infringes on the First Amendment free speech rights of Americans who love it and who use it every day. TikTok gives everyday Americans a powerful way to be seen and heard. And that’s why so many people have made TikTok part of their daily lives.

Advocates have said that means that hotels should still be an option. The mayor said the city was expecting 13 to 15 busloads of migrants in the next several days. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sent a letter to President Joe Biden last Friday requesting assistance from federal agencies to house migrants on federal land in New York, including military facilities. Rockland County's top official declared a state of emergency on Saturday in response to Adams' plan to send 340 adult male migrants to live at an Armoni Inn and Suites in Orangeburg, New York, for four months.

‘Drastic' Crisis May Force NYC to Use 20 School Gyms to House Migrants, Sparking Anger

Residents around at least two of the schools, Coney Island’s P.S. 172, filed complaints with the Department of Buildings raising questions about the legality of using the gyms to house people, public records show. A City Hall spokesperson said their “intent” is to only house adults in school gyms. The goal is to close the shelters “as soon as possible,” a city hall spokesperson said. Officials did not provide a firm timeline, though, and noted that they have run out of space elsewhere and are seeking federal and state help.

Migrants moved from school gym in Brooklyn amid protests and backlash

In recent months, the Adams administration has discouraged migrants from coming, distributing fliers at the southern border telling them that there is “no guarantee” they will receive shelter or services. Teamsters Local 237 President Gregory Floyd has filed a complaint with the city’s Office of Labor Relations asking the Adams administration to “cease and desist” with the housing of migrants in city schools. The complaint says school safety agents aren’t equipped to handle this population and that the move violates collective bargaining agreements.

Jayne applauded City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov for speaking out about the crisis but said the majority of government is out of touch with the people. New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office said the move was for safety reasons due to incoming storms and potential high winds. According to the New York Daily News, Adams told reporters that it was being done out of an "overabundance of caution."

Another PS 172 parent who didn’t want to be named said they, too, were skeptical of the temporary plan. PS 17, 18, 132 and 172 all house kindergarten through fifth-grade students, while PS 189 has students from kindergarten through eighth grade. “The one in Brooklyn, we were able to find other locations for those migrant asylum-seekers,” Adams said. We needed a few hours and were able to shift them to a different location.

At least one of them, in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, was housing migrants on Tuesday. Several others have been supplied in recent days with green cots and emergency rations. The mayor said the school gyms were intended to be used only for short periods, with the goal being to move people out quickly.
