Mayor Adams announced that the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan will stop serving as a shelter for migrants, reflecting a gradual scaling down of the city’s humanitarian effort. This decision occurs as the flow of migrants has decreased significantly due to changed immigration policies. However, critics point out that while numbers have declined, the city's approach to housing migrants remains problematic, as it continues to utilize taxpayer-funded shelters. Local taxpayers have faced substantial costs, and concerns remain about where migrants will live next as they have historically found their own accommodations.
"Mayor Adams announced Monday that the Roosevelt Hotel will cease being a migrant welcome center and shelter in a couple of months, as the city slowly unwinds what he called a 'unprecedented international humanitarian effort.'"
"The mayor's policy continues to make the city a magnet for border crossers. It's just that the feds are finally enforcing immigration law - saving Adams from himself."
