Bronx Council Member Kristy Marmorato and fellow members of the City Council’s Common-Sense Caucus met with the Trump administration’s “Border Czar” Thomas Homan on Thursday, Feb. 13, to voice their opposition to a planned 2,200-bed migrant shelter in the South Bronx and to offer their support in his attempt to improve public safety.
The shelter, which the city plans to open in the coming weeks, has drawn criticism from Marmorato and others who argue that it threatens public safety, strains local resources, and disregards the needs of longtime Bronx residents.
