Answers Demanded as Cars Belonging to Migrants Reportedly Towed Outside Brooklyn Shelter, Says New York Democrat
Assemblywoman Jaime Williams, representing southeast Brooklyn neighborhoods like Marine Park and Canarsie, emphasized the need for clarity after she shared video footage capturing the towing of cars that seemed to be owned by migrants outside a Brooklyn shelter.
“It seems like they’re having more resources than the average American, so we deserve answers,” Williams stated on “Fox & Friends First” on Monday. She expressed concern about migrants running out of tents, claiming the towed vehicles belonged to them, with one migrant even holding a title. Williams questioned the origin of these vehicles, highlighting the need for explanations.
On Friday night, authorities reportedly towed at least five vehicles found illegally parked outside Floyd Bennett Field, as reported by the New York Post. Assemblywoman Jaime Williams, in her video documentation, observed that among the towed vehicles, at least two were SUVs, and one appeared to be a pickup truck. Williams personally counted five cars and one truck, noting that these vehicles lacked license plates.
During an interview on “Fox & Friends First,” co-host Todd Piro inquired, “Have you gotten any answers as to where these migrants got these vehicles in the first place?”
“We have not received any responses from anyone whatsoever. This morning we will be working on that, but, as of right now, nothing,” she replied.
As the city’s residents grapple with the costs and chaos stemming from a migrant overflow, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has addressed the challenges on multiple occasions and implemented budget cuts to manage related expenses. Williams emphasized the need for transparency, asserting that the situation represents an abuse of taxpayers’ dollars. She further called for increased transparency from the Biden administration, which she claims has turned a blind eye to this national crisis.
“We are witnessing lawlessness occurring in New York City, particularly in my district on the southeast side of Brooklyn. Now, our residents and I have become recipients of the lawlessness of these migrants.”
Piro highlighted the increasing bipartisan concern over the issue and asked Williams if she believes there are enough Democrats noticing the problem to bring about change in New York.
“I don’t think there are enough of us this year, and I don’t think people should be looking at what party name is behind the person’s name,” she responded.
“Specifically, Councilwoman Joann Ariola and I have embraced this bipartisan fight, making it our own because it affects everyone in our district. I don’t know why people are hesitant to step up to the plate, but we need to do this sooner than later. We owe it to each and every taxpaying American.”
Since migrants were accommodated in November, Historic Floyd Bennett Field has transformed into a filthy eyesore, according to Williams, who criticized the Biden Administration for “turning a blind eye” to New York City’s challenges in managing its migrant crisis.
“Floyd Bennett Field, our national park, has turned into a dumping ground,” she expressed.
