Mocobizscene- Migrants who were reportedly begging for aid had their high-end vehicles towed from the vicinity of a disputed NYC shelter, leaving locals and officials questioning the situation.
In a surprising twist of events, authorities have seized a number of unregistered luxury vehicles believed to be owned by migrants near a controversial tent shelter in Floyd Bennett Field, New York City. This unexpected action occurred on Friday night, causing a wave of astonishment and bewilderment among both local residents and officials.
Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (D-Brooklyn) captured the incident on video and later shared it on Facebook. She expressed her shock at the spectacle and vented, “This is insane. Where did they get the money [to buy vehicles]? This is bigger than all of us.”
The authorities confiscated several vehicles that were illegally parked in federal parkland. The seized vehicles comprised a white pickup truck with no plates, a Toyota Sienna with Florida dealership plates, and two Toyota Sequoia SUVs. One migrant, who was affected by the removal of their vehicle, protested and pleaded to regain access to it.
It is worth noting that this incident aligns with recent complaints from residents of Marine Park, a predominantly working-class neighborhood. They have expressed concerns about asylum-seeking families approaching their homes and requesting assistance in the form of spare change and other forms of aid. These reports have understandably raised safety concerns among the local community.
Assemblywoman Williams criticized the Biden Administration for its handling of the city’s migrant crisis, adding fuel to the fire. She expressed her concern that Floyd Bennett Field, a national park, has been reduced to a “dumping ground” ever since it started accommodating migrants in November last year.
The federal park police conducted the impounding operation with assistance from the 63rd Precinct of the NYPD. However, there have been no official statements released by the Mayor’s Office or the NYPD regarding the incident.
