Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said the overflow site for migrant families at a Massachusetts recreation center has quickly filled up — just over a week since the site opened. 

The 400-person capacity at the Melnea A. Cass Recreational Complex in the city’s Roxbury neighborhood quickly filled up with migrants seeking shelter, Wu said Wednesday on the local podcast, “Java with Jimmy.”

The community center was converted to a migrant shelter on Jan. 31, and has already reached near-capacity as migrants have been transported from other temporary housing situations across the state.

“We just have to do what we have to do at this time,” she said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the governor’s office, but did not immediately receive a response.
