Guardian Angels Founder Curtis Sliwa ⁤was arrested during a migrant shelter protest ​on ​Staten Island.

On Sunday, the former Republican New York City Mayor nominee was arrested at the Midland Beach Migrant Shelter protest.

According to authorities, the protest came after ⁢the decision of a former assisted living facility transforming into a migrant shelter.

Video ⁤shows Sliwa and supporters during the protest ⁣carrying handmade signs and⁤ chanting phrases ‍like “Close the borders,” “Stop the invasion,” and “USA! USA!”

“I’ve taken it upon myself ‌to lead this effort ⁣with good people all throughout New ‍York ‍state, because they are not going to get away with invading our country ⁢with illegal‌ aliens,” said Sliwa.

Silwa and his supporters then gathered together, ⁣linking arms to block off the roads in front‌ of the facility.

“Today,⁤ this is not Republican versus Democrat ⁣versus​ Independents,”⁣ said Sliwa. “We’re joined together at the‌ hip ‌in solidarity. It’s us and we, not I and ‌me. It’s Americans versus those who⁢ would destroy the America that we know.”

The New York Police Department told ⁣protestors that if they did not leave the roadway and use the accessible walkways,​ they would be arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

The idea to turn‍ Island Shores into a⁢ migrant shelter is part of a larger dilemma since it is expected​ to cost the city more than $12 billion by July 2025, in addition to the⁣ city already spending ‍a whopping ⁢$1.45 billion.
