Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 office announced Tuesday that the city will close the controversial migrant shelter at Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field, along with numerous other sites, over the next couple of months amid a rapid decline in new arrivals.<\/p>\n

The 2,000-bed tent shelter, which sits on a decommissioned federal airfield in the Marine Park section of Brooklyn, is set to close by January 15, according to City Hall. The tents will be dismantled after the last migrants depart, and the city and state\u2019s lease of the land with the federal government will expire in March.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> Single Page<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
