Last month, Mayor Eric Adams signaled his openness to cooperate with president-elect Donald Trump's deportation plans. Perhaps as a result, New York City is seeing fewer illegal aliens and other non-citizens in its shelters.
In any case, more are leaving the care of the city than are coming in. According to the Mayor's office, as of December 29th, the city processed 400 entrants to city shelters while 1,200 departed.
Yet another challenge for our new neighbors in their journeys to achieving normalcy. It's long past time to end the 30/60 day shelter evictions to give people the time to get on their feet and establish their new lives herehttps://t.co/cr4Sdt0xvd

Additionally, the city is using the decline in population to arrange more humane sheltering for those most at risk. 80 male residents of a Brooklyn shelter were relocated to the sprawling Randall's Island facility on Saturday, prompting illegal alien advocates to protest.

As we've learned repeatedly since the beginning of this national crisis, many male migrants cannot be housed safely around children or women.
The Queen's Hotel in Crystal Palace houses 450 migrants. So far it has seen the rape of a 12 year-old & 17 female staff have been sexually assaulted.

Residents may have to move to another hotel if they are not prepared to share rooms.

As reported by Pix 11, the men being moved from one taxpayer-funded shelter to another claimed they were not notified. The city claims they were. More puzzling, the men who are here illegally claimed that their rights were violated.
“They say that they’re moving 80 men today to put them in a congregant shelter that they’re not familiar with, isolated from the neighborhood that they had become accustomed to being in,” said an organizer with Food Fight Brooklyn who did not give his name. “As we heard our migrant friends say, we don’t need more pushing people around from shelter to shelter at the last minute. People need permanent, affordable, dignified housing so that people can work their way to the American dream.”
🔥 NYC MAYOR ADAMS: "We have not seen the full course of what this [migrant crisis] did to us ... And the federal government made me take $6.4 Billion out of providing the services that we should. We all should be angry at what happened to our city under this Administration." pic.twitter.com/Lb3WzSdrlz

Of note, as recently as November, the city planned to permanently close the Randall's Island facility by February of 2025.
