"No one should be subject to unsafe and uninhabitable conditions, especially asylum seekers arriving in a city of immigrants. The tent shelters constructed in the Bronx’s Orchard Beach flooded with less than an inch of rain. There are reports that the “Emergency Relief Center” is similar to detention centers built in Texas by the same contractor. Our newly arrived neighbors should be offered the full range of services and safe shelter as any New Yorker in need. My office is available to new neighbors in the Bronx who need assistance. My team and I will continue to advocate for resources and suitable plans that ensure we uphold the principles and standards of a sanctuary city."
