The planned demonstration is the fourth large-scale rally as irate locals continue to rail against the 300-bed makeshift shelter at the former St. John Villa Academy.

New York City has struggled to find places for the more than 107,000 asylum seekers who have flooded into the Big Apple since spring 2022.

Hundreds have gathered outside the former St. John’s Villa Academy since the city announced plans to start housing migrants there., which closed down and later bought by the city in 2018, to decry bringing asylum seekers into the area.
