(NEW YORK, NY) - Today Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) announced she's joined Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens), Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (D-Brooklyn) and a bipartisan group of elected officials in filing a lawsuit to block New York City from using Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field or any other park that's part of the Gateway National Recreation Area (which includes all of Staten Island's federal parks) to house migrants.
Dozens of city lawmakers and supportive constituents filed a lawsuit early Tuesday seeking to block Mayor Adams’ administration from housing as many as 2,000 migrants at Floyd Bennett Field, a mostly defunct airfield in southern Brooklyn that would cost taxpayers $1.7 million in monthly rent.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Military bases like Brooklyn’s Fort Hamilton would be denied funding for migrant shelters if legislation, introduced by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn), becomes law.
The bill, which Malliotakis introduced with Rep. John Carter (R-Tx.) on Thursday, would block federal money from being used to house immigrants not lawfully admitted to the U.S.
As New York City deals with the ongoing migrant crisis, sites around the city have been used or proposed to be used to house the new arrivals.
A bipartisan legislative push is afoot on Capitol Hill to prohibit all U.S. employers from forcing their retired workers into Medicare Advantage coverage — a proposal that could spell trouble for Mayor Adams, who’s trying to mandate the privatized health insurance program for New York City’s 250,000 municipal retirees.
