Controversy over housing asylum seekers in Brooklyn school gyms

Parents in Brooklyn are protesting the city's plan to house asylum seekers in some public schools, including P.S. 172 in Sunset Park and P.S. 188 in Coney Island. They are concerned about the lack of space, bathroom facilities, and safety for their children. The city has opened over 150 emergency shelters and eight large-scale humanitarian relief centers to serve more than 65,000 asylum seekers, but parents are calling on the mayor to find another solution. The mayor is looking into other options, such as self-standing gyms that are not directly connected to school buildings.
