New York City residents gathered on Sunday to protest a tent city shelter used to house illegal immigrants, the New York Post reported.More than 100 locals and elected officials demanded that the city revoke its lease with Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, which has been providing shelter accommodations to approximately 2,000 illegal aliens since last year. 'Today we’re saying 'no more.''Protesters arrived at the rally in a 90-vehicle caravan, carrying American flags and signs reading, “Preserve the American dream,” “Stop migrant crime,” and “Revoke the lease to Floyd Bennett.”Residents have raised complaints with the city since the shelter opened. Republican lawmakers sent a letter to National Park Services in March requesting information regarding the vetting process for the shelter’s tenants after residents reported an increase in panhandling and criminal activity.The letter stated, “Since the establishment of the migrant encampment at Floyd Bennett Field, local and national media have reported an uptick in crime at the migrant encampment and in the immediate neighborhood surrounding the park.”“The widespread reports of criminality in and around the Floyd Bennett Field migrant encampment include domestic violence, assault, shoplifting, prostitution, and panhandling scams,” it continued. The first busload of illegal aliens who arrived at the shelter in November refused to stay, instead demanding the city provide them with better accommodations. Many complained that the location of the shelter was too far from work or their children’s schools.Brenda Lee, a New York City resident who attended Sunday’s protest, told the Post, “Illegals are being prioritized over New Yorkers and many, many New Yorkers feel that this crisis is just not debatable and there’s no end in sight.”“We need to speak up about exactly ... where this is gonna go,” Lee continued. “How is it going to end?” “Is it gonna end?” she questioned.City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Brooklyn) told protesters during the rally, “There are other places now that the migrants from that base camp can go.”“We need to be able to go to our national park and enjoy it. That was taken from us,” Ariola stated. “It’s been taken from us this summer and it must not be renewed.”Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (R-Brooklyn), who also attended the protest, declared, “Today we’re saying ‘no more.’”“It’s time that we take our community back, our city back, our state back. But let this be known that we are sending a very clear message to those individuals that are acting like thugs that we need our borders closed,” Williams added.Like Blaze News?

In a move straight out of communist East Germany, the Department of Homeland Security had recently planned to turn mothers and teachers into informants who rat out their neighbors for “domestic extremism.” The group behind the move was called the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group, which has since been disbanded. In notes released from a September 2023 meeting, they discussed ways to collect information on Americans and “get into local communities in a non-threatening way.” “As we told you after the passing of the Patriot Act, be careful, because terrorism can be ‘one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist,’” Glenn Beck warns. American First Legal alleged in a lawsuit filed in November 2023 that the group was stacked with Democratic partisans and violated the federal advisory committee act due to its lack of balance. As part of an out-of-court settlement, the group agreed to disband and provide American First Legal with its internal records. While Glenn is thankful that American First Legal took action, he isn’t convinced the group has truly been stopped. “I just want you to know, they don’t stop these things. They rename them. They break them up, and they do them in other ways,” Glenn explains. “You can’t say you are a lover of our democracy, and you’re trying to save democracy, and put a secret council together that is encouraging people to look at political dissent and report on those people so the government can do something,” he adds. Members of the group had noted that “Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other” and cited the “failure” of “see something say something.” “We’re not ambivalent about that. We don’t want to do that. If I see somebody that is breaking the law and I think they’re doing something that looks like it might be terroristic in nature, yeah, I will call the police,” Glenn says, adding, “but I’m not snooping and spying on my neighbors.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
