Secretary Scott Turner said on Tuesday that the Department of Housing and Urban Development shut down three of its field offices because of “unrest.”
Two of the offices are in California, where major immigration protests have been in the national spotlight since last week, and one is in New York, a spokesperson for HUD told NOTUS. Details of what led to them being shut down were unclear, as was a timeline to reopen them.
“They will be reopened when leaders get their cities under control and respect the rule of law,” said Kasey Lovett, the spokesperson for HUD, in an email to NOTUS.
