House passes bill to stop federal funds being used to house illegal immigrants
Fox News
Legislation that would stop federal funds from being used to house illegal immigrants on land controlled by the federal government passed the House on Thursday.
The bill aims to stop federal funds from being used to pay for migrant encampments in federal parks and to cancel the lease at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, a controversial makeshift tent city that can house 2,000 migrants.

"Turning our federal parks into encampments for unvetted migrants from all over the world is unfair to surrounding communities and the taxpayers being forced to foot the bill while having their public spaces taken away," Malliotakis said in a statement.
