New York City’s Central Park and Prospect Park are being considered by city officials as part of the sanctuary city’s plan to house migrants.
According to Bloomberg, over 95,000 migrants have arrived in New York City over the last 15 months. The recent surge in migration resulted in Anne Williams-Isom, deputy mayor for Health and Human Services declaring “everything is on the table,” during a Wednesday press conference when she was asked about the potential for migrants to be housed in the city’s parks.
Williams-Isom noted that Central Park and Prospect Park are two of roughly 3,000 potential migrant housing locations the city is currently considering.
