I cannot help but be concerned at how all this reactionary response to migrants seeking #asylum in NYC has created a perfect storm of xenophobia, ego-driven political agendas & photo ops, is risking folks safety & possibly exposing them to ICE? Btw #AbolishICE 1/
I saw plently of asylum seekers when I was a shelter case manager. This is NOT a new phenomenon, though it does require an urgent response in public policy, and always has, to address access to safe, perm housing for ALL people in New York. 2/
