A former NYPD training academy was transformed into New York's latest migrant housing shelter, as the city deals with an influx of illegal immigrants from the southern border.
"Last night, hundreds of asylum seekers arrived in New York City, after hundreds more arrived the day before, and thousands more in the days and week earlier. Once again, we are stepping up, in the absence of a national solution to this national crisis and are coming up with our own decompression strategy," Fabien Levy, press secretary for Mayor Eric Adams, told Fox News Digital Friday.

While the former NYPD facility will reportedly only provide temporary housing for asylum seekers, law enforcement sources raised concerns about safety because some police officers still use an indoor shooting range located inside the building where the migrants are staying, according to the New York Post.
