House Speaker Mike Johnson blasts Biden, Adams for ‘abdication of duty’ after migrants force NYC students from school

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) ripped both the Biden administration and New York City Mayor Eric Adams Wednesday after Brooklyn high school students were forced to make way for migrants sheltering in their gym.

“This week, Secretary Mayorkas confirmed that 85% of the illegal immigrants who are apprehended at the border are released into the interior United States,” Johnson told The Post in a statement.

“Now, because of the administration’s policy choices, students and teachers are having to turn to remote learning in order to accommodate illegal immigrants at their school. From the president on down to city mayors, support for illegal immigration has trickled down, thereby prioritizing the needs of non-citizens over the needs of our own.”

“If Biden and Mayorkas refuse to reverse course and secure the southern border, our students and schools will continue to pay the price for the administration’s abdication of duty,” Johnson added.

Nearly 2,000 migrants were brought to the James Madison High School gym Tuesday afternoon around 5 p.m. out of concerns that tents erected for them at Floyd Bennett Field would collapse due to rain and strong winds.

“House Republicans have solutions: we passed the Schools Not Shelters Act in July to ensure schools serve as sanctuaries of study, not casualties of sanctuary cities,” Johnson also said. “Sadly, President Biden threatened to veto the bill.”
