They want to put 800 men here, but we have \u200bno idea who\u200c they are, period. Are they \u2062rapists?\u200b Are they murderers? Are \u200cthey vaccinated? Do they\u2063 speak English?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Protest Led \u2064by Curtis\u2063 Sliwa<\/h3>\n<p>The \u2064demonstration outside Island Shores was organized by Curtis Sliwa, the founder\u200c of \u2064the Guardian Angels and a former mayoral candidate. Sliwa himself participated in the protest and was subsequently taken into custody for\u200c blocking traffic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Arrests at the \u2063location are expected,&#8221; Sliwa had predicted before the protest. Addressing the crowd, he declared, &#8220;When\u200d I finish,\u2062 we are gonna block this street. You line \u2062up behind me &#8230; and the\u2062 others who know what civil\u2063 disobedience is. Let&#8217;s \u200bawait the instructions of the cops.\u2064 We occupy this facility\u200b and\u200d dare them to arrest [us]. &#8230; We don\u2019t want illegal aliens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Challenges for Mayor Eric Adams<\/h3>\n<p>Mayor Eric Adams, \u2063a Democrat, faces the ongoing challenge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hundreds-of-new-yorkers-protest-shelter-and-illegal-immigrants-flooding-city\/\" title=\"Hundreds of New Yorkers rally against influx of shelter and undocumented immigrants.\">finding suitable housing<\/a> for the thousands\u200b of \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-jr-on-biden-its-an-embarrassment-for-our-country\/\" title=\"Donald Trump Jr. on Biden: It\u2019s an embarrassment for our country\">illegal immigrants arriving<\/a> in the city. His office released a \u2063statement acknowledging the \u2064strain on New York City and calling for assistance from federal and state \u200bpartners.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we have repeatedly said, with more than 100,000 asylum seekers asking for care \u200dsince the \u2062spring of 2022, New York City has been left largely \u2064alone to respond with a\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/panama-official-say-terrorists-are-trying-to-enter-u-s-through-southern-border-disguised-as-migrants\/\" title=\"Panama official say terrorists are trying to enter U.S. through southern border disguised as migrants\">national humanitarian crisis<\/a>,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;We have already stood up more than 200 emergency sites and run out of space every day. We \u2062have looked at more than 3,000 sites, and, given the magnitude of\u200b this \u2064emergency, every option remains on the table.
