In Staten Island, a former Catholic girls school called St. John Villa Academy has become a flashpoint of resistance to the overwhelming migrant crisis.
Many residents in this working-class neighborhood are involved in around-the-clock vigils to stop the school from being filled with 300 migrants.
St. John Villa may be closed, but two other Catholic schools, and a school for handicapped students, are close by.
Staten Island at this moment feels targeted by City Hall.
