“Controversy Surrounding Municipal Government’s Attempt to House Migrants in School Gyms”

The municipal government backed down this week in its attempt to house migrants in school gyms.

One of these shelters was to open in a Williamsburg school.

Juan Manuel Benítez, presenter of Pura Política, talked about this controversy with the councilor of that district, Jennifer Gutiérrez, who addressed some issues such as these:

• Although the plan to house recently arrived immigrants in school gyms was discarded, what was that selection process like?
• Are you getting calls in your district from people who oppose this plan?
• What weight are the conversations about funds for these migrants having, before June 30?
