Dozens of migrants, including families with young children, were reportedly forced to stay in a corner of Logan Airport.
About 100 migrants were reportedly staying in a corner of Logan Airport recently as Massachusetts continues to struggle with an emergency shelter system that is bursting at the seams.
Dozens of people, including families with young children, were seen sleeping on the floor of Terminal E last week, according to a report from WBZ. Some locals have been helping connect the migrants with basic supplies, including wet wipes they are using to keep clean due to a lack of shower access.
Those staying at the airport have been leaving on buses in the morning and coming back to sleep there at night, WBZ reported. When asked about the situation. Gov. Maura Healey thanked Logan staff and state police working there.
“The airport has been a wonderful partner and I really want to thank the folks at the airport who are doing a wonderful job, including members of the state police who are working their regular shifts but who are managing the inflow and outflow of folks from the airport,” she told reporters at a press conference.
