The shelter in Brooklyn is set to house migrant families, but there are concerns about safety from some local leaders.
New York City is moving forward opening a massive shelter for migrants at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn.
Runway 19 on the former Naval air station will be able to house people with bathroom and shower trailers, a processing center, medical facility and cafeteria.But this decision hasn't come without some controversy. Republican Councilmember Joann Ariola posted on social media saying, "Bennett Field is not only a flood zone, but it is a fire trap now as well. Placing children here is unconscionable. This is absolutely a catastrophe waiting to happen - 'not reliable' fire hydrants nearly a half mile away and lithium-ion powered mobility devices in the area is a recipe for disaster."
