- The Biden administration has opted not to provide approval for the utilization of Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field to accommodate migrants, resulting in a public setback for Governor Kathy Hochul, who had passionately advocated for the proposal during a direct discussion with federal officials on Sunday.
- In a concerted effort to secure support for the plan, New York’s prominent Democratic leader ensured her presence during a morning conference call with notable figures from the Biden administration, including Deputy Secretary of the Interior Tommy Beaudreau.
- In anticipation of a successful outcome, her office diligently prepared a potential announcement detailing the agreement, poised for immediate dissemination following the call, according to sources familiar with the situation, who spoke to The Post.
