The Roosevelt Hotel, which has served as a migrant shelter in Manhattan, is set to close its operations in the coming months, according to Mayor Eric Adams. He described this impending closure as a milestone for New York City, which has recently experienced a drop in the number of asylum seekers. Since the height of the crisis in 2022, weekly migrant arrivals have significantly decreased from around 4,000 to about 350. Mayor Adams noted that the city has implemented successful strategies and advocated for border policies, leading to this positive change.
"While we're not done caring for those that came into our care, today marks another milestone in demonstrating the immense progress we have achieved in turning the corner on the unprecedented international humanitarian effort."
"The successful strategies we put in place here in New York City and because of policies we advocated for at the border."
