‘Overflowing’: Blue State Considers Using Airplane Hangars At Major Airport To House Migrants

The Democratic-run state of New York is considering using an airplane hangar at John F. Kennedy International Airport to house migrants, the state’s governor, Kathy Hochul, said Monday during a press conference.
The state is assessing how it can expand housing for migrants as New York City reaches its breaking point, Hochul said. There are more than 42,000 individuals in city shelters, Hochul said while applauding Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ efforts to continue to expand housing for migrants.
“We are identifying additional shelters. The city is overflowing,” Hochul said.
“The mayor has used every ounce of creativity with him and his team to find space, and we are asking for more space, were looking at hangars at JFK, we’ve asked for Floyd Bennett Field [an area operated by the National Park Service] to stand up a major operation, we have other facilities we have been talking about. We’ll be announcing more on that briefly,” Hochul said.
