Hundreds of residents rallied Tuesday against a planned tent city for asylum seekers on the grounds of a Queens psychiatric center that borders Nassau County.
The state is to open what is being called a “humanitarian relief center” in the parking lot of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center.
A group of people held a “No Tent City” protest in the space that is expected to serve up to 1,000 men in need of shelter. The rally took place on both sides of Hillside Avenue in Queens, which is around two miles from the Nassau County border.
