Comment on Migrant Camp Moves Into High School, Forces Students Out of Their Classrooms
PrincessEli@reddthat.com 5 months agoKeep in mind that NYC doesn’t actually have much of a choice - there’s a “right to shelter” here which requires the city to provide these migrants a safe place to stay.
Sounds like NYC has an easy choice. End their nonsense right to shelter

They can’t just choose to do that. The lawsuit that led to the establishment of this policy involved the plaintiffs successfully arguing that the New York state constitution guarantees a right to shelter (see Callahan v. Carey). How the mayor’s attempt to suspend the policy would work in that context is beyond my understanding of the law.

Pull a page from Andrew Jacksons book. The court can decide whatever it wants. It has Jack shit in the way of enforcing it. They can suspend the policy, and just tell the courts to go fuck themselves. It’s not like these migrant bums could afford to challenge it anyway
