Concerned neighbors and parents of a New York City community have been unable to stop their own city government from establishing a shelter for illegal aliens near a school — even though they briefly obtained a court order that was later overturned.

Another judge later overturned the ruling obtained by local officials barring the use of the school for migrant housing on appeal, according to Spectrum News.

“We will continue to fight in the Court and in every available avenue to ensure this shelter is closed down.”

More Staten Island officials have expressed concerns over the potential use of other community spaces as migrant shelters — including a New York National Guard armory.

New York City — a self-declared “sanctuary city” that offers the local homeless and illegals a right to shelter — has been inundated with a torrent of illegal aliens during the administration of President Joe Biden.
