New York City has extended its curfew orders to 20 additional migrant shelters as violence has increased across the city.
Spokesperson Kayla Mamelak said officials will impose the curfew, set for 11:00 p.m. already enforced at four shelters housing illegals.
“The curfew impacts about 3,600 migrants, with the largest of the emergency centers housing nearly 1,000 migrants in Long Island City, Queens, according to a listing provided by the mayor’s office,” the Associated Press reported.
“City officials initially placed a curfew on four shelters last month in response to neighborhood complaints. Mamelak said the curfews are in line with restrictions already in place at NYC’s traditional homeless shelters and allow for “more efficient capacity management” of migrants in the city’s care.”
The curfew has been set just weeks after a group of New York City migrants attacked New York Police Department (NYPD) officers outside a taxpayer-funded shelter.
At least 41 migrants have been arrested since Mayor Eric Adams opened the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan to thousands of illegals.
