The controversial migrant encampment at Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field will remain for another year, The Post has learned.
The National Parks Service, which oversees the historic former airfield off Flatbush Avenue, notified city officials Friday it has agreed to the Adams administration’s request for a lease extension to continue operating the 2,000-bed tent city.
The original lease was set to expire Saturday.
“This extension request was thoroughly reviewed and responds to the State of New York’s continued emergency declaration,” wrote Jennifer T. Nersesian, superintendent of Gateway National Recreation Area, a part of the National Park Service.
“As stewards of this site, visitor access, public safety, and preservation of natural and cultural resources are our top priorities,” she added. “Our team has worked to ensure Floyd Bennett Field remains accessible to the public while the lease is in place and will continue to do so for the extension of the lease.”
Since the migrant shelter was set up, residents of Brooklyn’s Marine Park, the Rockaways and other nearby sleepy communities have complained the new arrivals are bringing more shoplifting, panhandling, gutter scams and other unsavory activity to their neighborhoods.
“The people who live in Rockaway and [southern] Brooklyn have been extremely clear on this: they do not want a shelter in Floyd Bennett Field,” fumed Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens), upon learning of the extension.
“I will keep searching for ways to reverse the shelter-city status and end the migrant crisis. We cannot keep pouring taxpayer dollars into a failed project that endangers New Yorkers and diverts much-needed city funds from those who need them most.”

They are ILLEGAL ALIENS, not migrants.
You’d think someone else would want them.
Show me how they have a constitutional right to do so.
The feds are constitutionally presumptively forbidden to occupy or meddle in land within a state's borders.
Now you know why the feds raided the mayor’s top officials homes. Then this. Extortion. Nothing in politics is a coincidence. Certainly not in this year of the cats.
Training camp for the Yankees and the Mets.
American citizens be damned.
BULLSHIT!! Obviously your top priority is the horde of illegals that has invaded our land to permanently cement Demoncrat power and control.
They all lie. Every last one of them.
$1,733,750 monthly lease payments for the city to operate the tent shelter.
Who owns the property? And how are they tied in to the gov?
This is a new term I’ve been seeing everywhere the past few days....”New Arrivals”.
I saw where they were evicting the ones that were in a shelter for 2 month to make room for the “New Arrivals”.
The primary duty of any US president is to keep the American people safe, to stop a foreign invasion.
Not only have they failed completely in their duty, but they have actively encouraged this invasion.
The threat of invasion across our southern border is precisely what brought the US into World War 1.
How is it that these people are not under arrest for treason ?
In any other period of American history, they would by now be awaiting execution.
They are here for the welfare.
Trading their votes for room and board is a hell of a deal for them.
Migrant contract delayed for New York City mayor’s friend
That's just for security coverage. What about the other services needed? How many more friends of NY State politicians are getting rich off of this?
They are ILLEGAL ALIENS, not migrants.
Migrants now also mean Illegals
It's run by the National Park Service. Mayor Adams's office has apparently issued contracts to various vendors for services to the tent city. Guaranteed his friends and big donors got some of those contracts. Former NYPD detective and close friend of the Mayor's, who also raised tons of campaign money for him, was given the contract for security. There were complaints about it, but I can't find anything that said the contract wasn't approved.
I'm sure it does. Leftists change the meaning of everything.
Abortion is now reproductive care.
Sex change is now gender affirming care.
Normal heteros are now cisgender.
They are in the country illegally and are illegal aliens. You can use whatever definitions you'd like but I'm sticking to the real meaning.

OK Don’t laugh.
Pitcha?
