Angry parents, kids rally outside NYC schools over migrants: ‘Open up Gracie Mansion’By Jack Morphet, Desheania Andrews and Emily Crane

Scores of furious parents and children protested outside at least three Brooklyn schools prepped to house migrants Tuesday, demanding Mayor Eric Adams find other spots — including his own Gracie Mansion — to dump the asylum-seekers.
“I say to the mayor, ‘Open up Gracie Mansion, and allow the migrants to have a shower and hot meal,'” Mayra Ducos, 42, raged to The Post as she rallied outside her children’s Williamsburg school, PS 17, first thing Tuesday.
“ ‘You have 22,000 square feet, let them seek refuge at your home.’ I bet he has a good stove to cook the migrants a hot meal.”
PS 17, which shares a gym with MS 577, housed 10 migrant men for two hours overnight before the asylum-seekers were whisked off to Staten Island, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Dozens of cots were erected inside the gym Monday as The Post revealed PS 17 and MS 577 were among those schools set to temporarily take on asylum-seekers as the Big Apple struggles with a surging migrant crisis.
