CALLING ON HIM TO RESIGN INCLUDING CORY BOOKER.
>>> PLUS A SETBACK OR VICTORY IN
THE MIGRANT CRISIS DEPENDING ON
YOUR VIEW.
A STATEN ISLAND JUDGE ORDERS
MIGRANTS HOUSED AT A FORMER
SCHOOL TO GET OUT. A LOT GOING ON TONIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
>> LET’S GET RIGHT TO THE
DEVELOPMENTS IN MIGRANT CRISIS.
TODAY A STATEN ISLAND JUDGE
ORDERED MIGRANTS AT A FORMER
HIGH SCHOOL TO LEAVE.
>> AND ERICA BYFIELD IS LIVE
WITH THE LATEST. >> Reporter: IF YOU LOOK HERE
BEHIND ME, YOU CAN SEE THESE GATES ARE STILL IN PLACE, SO IF
THE JUDGE’S RULING STAND, THE
GATES NEED TO COME DOWN.
>> LET REASON PREVAIL, COMMON
SENSE PREVAIL AND LET’S ABIDE BY THE JUDGE’S DECISION AND SHUTS
THIS THING DOWN.
>> Reporter: CHEERS FROM
REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ON STATEN
ISLAND HOURS AFTER A JUDGE
ORDERED MIGRANTS LIVING IN AN
OLD SCHOOL OUT.
IN A DECISION THAT COULD HAVE A
HUGE IMPACT CITY WIDE.
BECAUSE IT ALSO QUESTIONS THE
CITY’S RIGHT TO SHELTER.
>> THE JUDGE TOLD US SOMETHING
THAT ALL OF US HERE ALREADY
KNOW.
THAT THE RIGHT TO SHELTER LAW
APPLIES TO NEW YORKERS.
TO PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
IT DOESN’T APPLY TO THE 8 BILLION PEOPLE THAT LIVE AROUND
THE GLOBE.
>> Reporter: THE JUDGE WROTE IF
THE CITY CONTINUES TO SEEK
SHELTER FOR ALL MIGRANT ASYLUM
SEEKERS, IT IS DOING SO AS A
MATTER OF POLICY AND NOT A MANDATE.
THE CURRENT SITUATION IS NOT AN
EMERGENCY.
HIS DECISION REACHED SEVEN KEY
CONCLUSIONS, AMONG THEM THAT
THIS IS ZONED TO BE A SCHOOL AND
NOT A SHELTER. THIS AFTERNOON A SPOKESPERSON
FOR MAYOR ADAMS SAYS WE ARE
TAKING STEPS TO IMMEDIATELY
APPEAL THE RULING WHICH WE
BELIEVE IS INCORRECT IN KEY
RESPECTS AND WHICH THREATENS TO
DISRUPT EFFORTS TO MANAGE THE
NATIONAL HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.
>> USE THIS DECISION AS AN
EXCUSE TO START WINDING DOWN THE
SHELTER SYSTEM.
USE THIS DECISION AS AN EXCUSE
TO TELL JOE BIDEN TO MAN UP AND MAN THE BORDER.
>> Reporter: OF THE MIGRANTS WHO
CROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER WITHIN
THE LAST YEAR, MORE THAN 115,000
OF THEM FOUND THEIR WAY TO NEW YORK, NEARLY 60,000 ARE ACTIVELY
GETTING CARE, 300 IN THIS FORMER
SCHOOL.
>> IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SCHOOL.
WE’LL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
MAKE SURE THAT THIS CLOSES DOWN AND YOU GET THE SCHOOL THAT YOU
TRULY DESERVE IN THIS COMMUNITY.
>> Reporter: SO AT THIS POINT
WE’RE WAITING TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT OUT HERE.
AGAIN, THE CITY SAYING THAT IT
