New York migrants sleep on streets as Roosevelt Hotel hits asylum seeker capacity
What was once an iconic New York hotel now serves as a migrant processing center. The Roosevelt Hotel, located in midtown Manhattan’s business district, is just steps away from Grand Central Terminal. At its peak, the hotel could around 900 residents.
It is now operating as an ’asylum seeker arrival center’ as New York City struggles to keep up with the continued flow of migrants to the city.
The shelter is at capacity and migrants unable to get a place inside have been forced to sleep on the street, according to local media reports. People could be seen in a long line, with cardboard in hand.
New York City officials earlier this month said that more than 90,000 asylum seekers have arrived since last spring, and stated that an average of 300-500 people arrive each day.
