A Brooklyn high school kicked students out of their classrooms to make way for nearly 2,000 migrants that were evacuated due to a storm that was closing in on New York City.

The city moved because it was worried that the massive tent for migrants at Floyd Bennett Field might collapse due to torrential downpours and strong winds. They were instead packed into the gym on the second floor of James Madison High School, five miles away.

The neighbors of the school were not happy with the decision made at last minute.

“This is f—ed up,” said an anonymous local resident. It’s a litmus-test. This is being tested in a real storm. They’ll be around for the whole summer.

He said: “There are 1,900 people being thrown in my neighborhood, a half block away from where I live, and we have no idea who they are.”

They’re not vetted. We don’t know that many of them are criminals or have a bad background.

A mother was so irate that she slammed the migrants when they arrived in a long line of school busses in the pouring down rain just before 6 pm.

How do you feel?” “Does it feel good?” yelled the woman who identified herself only as Michelle.

How does it feel to you that all the children will be out of school tomorrow?” Do you feel good? Do you feel good? “I hope you sleep well tonight!”

A local dad asked, “How does it feel to steal American tax money?”

The school had announced earlier that the classes on Wednesday would be conducted remotely due to the “activation of James Madison High School” as a temporary respite center for migrants.

City officials were concerned about the safety of tent city due to the forecast of heavy rains, winds up to 70 mph and gusts of wind.

City Hall spokeswoman Kayla Mmelak stated that the relocation was a proactive move taken to ensure the well-being and safety of the individuals who work and live at the center.

Mamelak said that the families were already relocating temporarily and would continue to receive essential services and assistance.

The relocation will continue as long as the weather conditions are stable and the facility can be used again.

At midday, 10 NYPD marked vehicles and half a dozen Emergency Management trucks were parked in front of the high school to prepare for the arrival of the migrants from the airfield, which is about five miles away.

Robyn Levy, a gym teacher at the school, said: “They told us that we had to remove everything by 5 [p.m .],”.”

They sent us an email at 6 am. I don’t have any idea when we will be able go back.

Levy asked, “Why here?”

Why not send them to a place where the students’ learning won’t get disrupted?

More than two dozen buses of school children gathered at the field to make the short trip to the school.

The 2,000-bed tent camp was not the first to be affected by extreme weather. Heavy rains and winds gusting at 55 mph shook the metal hinges and bolts from the ceiling.

The Post reported that the fierce storm of Dec. 18 brought up to four inches of rain into the area, and migrants were afraid for their lives.

Reibi Rodrigues, a Venezuelan immigrant, said: “The tents looked as if they were about to fall apart.”

When we informed security that we were concerned about an imminent collapse, we were told the door was wide open and we could leave whenever we wanted.

Where were we going?

City Hall officials confirmed that they have an evacuation plan ready and waiting to be executed if necessary. However, no flooding has been reported on the former federal airfield following the downpour in December.

The tents were also missing bolts and hinges, which they said they did not know about.

In November, after Gov. Kathy Hochul had negotiated with White House to gain access to the site for a tent-city.

The critics were concerned about the location but the city officials were desperate to provide space for the thousands migrants flooding into New York.

The Post reported Tuesday that Councilwoman Joann Ariola, R-Queens, had warned the administration of this outcome from day one. But they did not listen.

“Floyd Bennett Field would be a terrible place to put a tent camp. We are wasting tax dollars by evacuating nearly 2,000 people, when they could have been moved to the Park Slope Armory.

She said, “This was not something a fortune-teller could have predicted.”

It was just common sense.

Nearly 70,000 migrants are still in the care of the city from the 162,000 who arrived from the US border in the five boroughs since spring 2022.

The city also erected migrant camps at Randall’s Island, Manhattan, and the former Creedmore Psychiatric Center located in Queens. However, officials said that these sites were less exposed to extreme weather and therefore not vulnerable.

Adams said that the tents on the Floyd Bennett Field site are only “anchored” by “heavy stone.”
