An emergency migrant shelter in Staten Island has been evacuated after the fire department deemed it unsafe, with former officials warning it could become a death trap.Migrant families were seen moving out of the shelter set up at the former St. John Villa Academy Catholic school on Monday as they waited to be moved elsewhere. It comes after the NYFD inspected the grounds on Sunday and found too many code violations, including a lack of a sprinkler system or fire alarm. City officials say the fire department also found code violations at about half a dozen other shelters which are expected to shut down this week. It's not clear where the asylum seekers will be moved to. DailyMail.com has reached out to mayor Eric Adam's office for comment.
