Students at James Madison High School in Brooklyn are stuck at home today with many of their parents with them.
The decision was to allow 2,000 migrants to move from their shelter to the school grounds because of the threat of a storm that officials believed would put the shelter at risk of flooding.
Clips obtained by show migrants young and old taking up space in the large school room surrounded by their belongings.
Alina, mother of two children in grades 9 and 12, told : “My child texted me at around 1pm saying school is closed tomorrow.”
“They will have distance learning because the migrants will sleep in the auditorium and the gymnasium.”
“It was crazy. We are not against migrants, but this is illegal. This illegal border crossing and everything that affects us all. And the worst thing is that it affects our children.”
Eric Adams, proud of the decision, visited the site last night and then shared photos on Twitter showing him inspecting the gymnasium where the migrants would sleep.

They were returned at 4am this morning after no serious damage was caused to the shelter. At this point, school parents had already been told to make arrangements for their children to stay home throughout the day.
The decision has outraged many New Yorkers, who say it is further evidence that Adams is prioritizing the thousands of migrants who have come to the city over tax-paying residents and their families.
Among those who voiced criticism was New York State Rep. Mike Reilly of Staten Island, who said Adams had taken the issue “past the threshold” of common sense.
“For more than a year, I and my common sense colleagues from across New York City have been vocal about establishing emergency shelters for migrants in our community and our public schools.
Adams eyed the gymnasium, where the migrants were sleeping on the floor. They were taken back to the animal shelter at 4:30 a.m
“We emphasized with great concern the impact these types of facilities would have on public safety and quality of life.”
“We were called conspiracy theorists for even suggesting the possibility that taxpaying New Yorkers would be displaced to make room for those who are here illegally.
“We have officially crossed the threshold.” “City officials are now setting a dangerous precedent for the future of this crisis,” he said.
Texas Congressman Wesley Hunt fumed: “This should outrage us all!” We have an obligation to the American people to put an end to this madness.
“First luxury hotels and now THIS.” Biden's illegal immigrants are coming to a high school near you.
“It starts at James Madison High School, which is being used as a refuge for migrants.
“For the record, we have homeless vets sleeping on the streets of America every night!”
