The city cleared out the migrants Wednesday night who had spent the week camped outside of the Watson Hotel
“Instead of meeting asylum seekers’ reasonable demands for safe, stable shelter that offers privacy and dignity, the mayor handled this situation like he always seems to: with police. It’s a pattern we’ve seen in his escalation of sweeps since he first entered office. No one deserves to be ‘swept’ away, and the image of dozens of NYC cops confronting asylum seekers who have traveled thousands of miles in perilous conditions to have a chance of a better life is deeply disturbing.
On Jan. 31, Commissioner Manuel Castro of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs stressed that the City’s Brooklyn facility was created solely to provide immigration services to newly arrived migrants. He even confidently rode along with migrants to tour the relief center and listen to their concerns.Many migrants were loaded into school buses.
