New York City has shut down the migrant arrival center at the Roosevelt Hotel, a key facility for immigrant services since its opening two years ago. The center's closure raises concerns about the impact on individuals with disabilities being moved to less suitable locations. While the city has reduced its migrant population from a peak of 70,000 to over 37,000, officials are attempting to provide necessary services at other shelter locations. Despite assurance from the administration regarding accommodations for those with special needs, many advocate for improved conditions and continuity of care for the most vulnerable migrants.
"Anytime the city is moving people between facilities it creates problems, and we're seeing those problems. The ones that have the most needs are often the ones most forgotten."
"The city is currently housing more than 37,000 migrants across 170 sites, down from a peak of nearly 70,000 last January."
