Protesters attempt to stop removal of hundreds of migrants from public-funded housing

Protesters in New York City attempted to block the removal of hundreds of migrants from a public-funded housing facility known as the Watson Hotel. The migrants were being relocated to make room for families with children, as part of a broader effort by the city to manage the influx of asylum seekers. The relocation was met with resistance from some migrants and activists who argued that the new accommodations at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal were inadequate, citing issues like lack of heat and privacy. Despite the protests, the city proceeded with the move, emphasizing that the new facility was equipped with necessary amenities and was a better fit for single adult men, while the Watson Hotel would better serve families. The situation highlights ongoing challenges in accommodating the large number of migrants arriving in the city.
