The city cleared out the migrants Wednesday night who had spent the week camped outside of the Watson Hotel calling for better living conditions.

The sweep took place just before 8 p.m. and saw NYPD officers and DSNY workers descend upon the encampment. The migrants, who had been conducting a sit-in protest outside the hotel that started Sunday, were reportedly given two options by authorities: either go to a humanitarian relief center at the Red Hook terminal or a men’s homeless shelter.
