The NYPD was called to Father Capodanno Boulevard for reports of crowd control issues. Ten people were taken into custody.
The month of September has seen numerous nights of protests across Staten Island, where hundreds of demonstrators have marched through the streets with megaphones, signs and American flags.
The borough has been at the center of New York City's migrant crisis since the end of August, when the Adams administration started to house asylum seekers at St. John Villa Academy.The former Catholic school has been transformed into a 300-bed makeshift shelter, and is now the site of rallies often led by the borough’s Republican elected officials.
A Staten Island judge initially ruled the city couldn’t use St. John Villa Academy as a shelter, but the city appealed and had the ruling overturned.
