Authorities Meet With Migrants as Group Continues to Protest Order to Leave Manhattan Hotel
Manuel Castro, the Commissioner of the NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, met with a group of asylum seekers on Tuesday, January 31, as it continued to push back against the city’s attempt to relocate them to a shelter in Brooklyn.
Earlier this month, New York Mayor Eric Adams announced his plan to move single men from the Watson Hotel in midtown Manhattan to a new shelter at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, which can house 1,000 people.

A group of migrants set up camp outside the midtown hotel on January 29, refusing to follow city officials’ orders to relocate to the Brooklyn shelter, according to local news reports. A migrant told local news that they did not want to move to the Brooklyn shelter, citing a lack of heat.
Adams visited the shelter in Brooklyn and said it had “healthy food” and was heated.
A representative of Make the Road NY, an organization that says it advocates for immigrants and “working-class people of color” in New York state, said they "condemn the City’s action to force asylum-seekers to move to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.
“The city must treat recently arrived people as just that – people, who need stability to have a functional day-to-day life, not puzzle pieces to be moved around arbitrarily,” the statement said.
