The not-for-profit organization operating a temporary migrant shelter in Staten Island is facing criticism from local pols for allegedly ousting the residents of the former senior living facility earlier this year after they were told the site was up for sale.

A 95-year-old veteran was among the some 50 residents at Island Shores Residence at 111 Father Capodanno Blvd. who were displaced in March at the behest of the site operator, Homes for the Homeless.

Now we’re talking!

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) is already moving to draft a resolution to have Congressman Jamaal “The Fire Alarm Guy” Bowman (D-NY) expelled from the House of Representatives after he pulled a fire alarm at the Cannon House Office Building ahead of a motion to adjourn on Saturday.

Bowman claims it was a mistake. He said he thought that pulling the alarm would open the door.

Malliotakis isn’t having it.

Staten Island Rep. Nicole Malliotakis on Wednesday praised the court ruling that would force the city to clear out a temporary migrant shelter in the borough.

Judge Wayne Ozzi on Tuesday called into question the city’s 42-year-old “right to shelter” policy, arguing against the “consent decree” that has been interpreted as a mandate to provide shelter. He argued the decree is meant to provide emergency housing for New Yorkers, and therefore, does not apply to migrant asylum seekers.

A 95-year-old Korean War veteran said he was given less than two months’ notice to figure out where he was going to live after the nursing home he resided in was sold to become a facility for undocumented migrants.
