People packed Hillside Avenue chanting and holding signs in opposition to the new migrant shelter that is scheduled to be set up in the parking lot next to the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center.

It is one of the latest facilities that will be used to house the approximately 57,000 migrants in the city’s care.

"This is a daily struggle. As we've continually said, we need more help from our state partners and we need help from the federal government. This is not something the city can handle on its own," said Zach Iscol, the commissioner of the city's Emergency Management agency.

In other news, the Department of Homeland Security says it is sending a team to assess the migrant situation in the city and across the state, and the team will report back to Washington.
