During a recent video message shared on social media, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the disastrous Roosevelt Hotel migrant shelter in Manhattan will soon be migrant-free.

Adams called the development a “milestone.”

NYC has seen more than 232,000 migrants arrive since the crisis began in the spring of 2022.

In a video message, Adams credited the winding down of operations at the repurposed site to “the successful strategies we put in place here in New York City and because of policies we advocated for at the border.”

From The New York Post:

Adams, 64, said the number of arriving migrants entering city care is down to about 350 on average each week — a dramatic decrease from the 4,000 migrants weekly at the height of the crisis.

In the week leading up to Feb. 2, around 200 new migrants required city help while 1,800 migrants left city shelters and in the first week of Trump’s term in office, around 300 new migrants were registered with the city while 1,800 departed, according to city figures.

In the final weeks of President Joe Biden’s term, the city averaged 400 to 500 arrivals weekly, according to officials. Those numbers are a sharp drop from the 700 to 900 migrants who flooded the city each week over the summer.

“While we’re not done caring for those that came into our care, today marks another milestone in demonstrating the immense progress we have achieved in turning the corner on the unprecedented international humanitarian effort,” Adams said in his video announcement.

Migrants still arriving in the Big Apple after operations at the Roosevelt stop will have other locations to register, City Hall said.
