Migrants Housed at Logan Airport

The ongoing migrant crisis in the state of Massachusetts has led to scores of families sleeping on cots in Boston’s Logan Airport.

Though cots at Logan Airport have typically been employed for people with canceled flights, they have lately been employed to give migrant families a place to sleep as they wait for a chance to enter the state’s new housing program. The airport crisis response team has “assisted over 1,600 new arrivals” since July 11, according to WBUR.

“We’ll have people that haven’t eaten in days. And so, we’ve had troopers or [Logan] employees buy 15 pizzas,” Kate Moore, director of emergency services for North Suffolk Community Services, told WBUR.

“We started getting just planes of people coming from Texas and other border states being flown up to Massachusetts and not knowing what they’re supposed to do once they get to the airport,” she added. (Excerpt from Breitbart.)
