Boston Medical Center has ended its policy to house migrants after more than 100 migrants showed up to the hospital seeking shelter last week, a hospital staff member told The Boston Globe.
The revised policy now states that emergency department employees are required to send migrants to shelters during business hours after being screened. However, if migrants arrive at the hospital after hours, workers are directed to send them via ride share to wherever they stayed the previous night, or at a different location where they would like to go. In some cases, that may mean sending migrants back to Logan Airport, where they had previously spent the night, hospital employees told The Boston Globe.
