I'm shutting down the migrant facility at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan. Since 2023, this hotel has been the arrival center for migrants seeking asylum.
When the hotel opened to migrants in 2023, we were receiving up to 4,000 migrants a week. In total, about 232,000 migrants have sought shelter in the city, with the Roosevelt Hotel serving as the front door for about 75% of them.
Thanks to our policies, new arrivals are down to an average of about 350 each week. While we're not done caring for those already here, this marks progress in turning the corner on this unprecedented international humanitarian effort.
These activities will continue in New York City, just not at this location. We'll be spreading these efforts to other facilities around the city.
