WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-2nd) pressed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on the possibility of whether Atlantic City International Airport might be used to house migrants who could no longer be sheltered in New York City.

Van Drew used a House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure hearing to ask Buttigieg whether the Federal Aviation Administration had been involved in a proposal under which the airport was one of 11 possible federal locations for housing the migrants.
