Migrants on Sunday said they are still seeking shelter on the streets of Midtown, hungry and confused, after the Roosevelt Hotel — one of the many Big Apple locales housing asylum-seekers in recent months — reportedly reached capacity over the weekend.
People were left laying on the streets near 45th Street and Madison Avenue overnight as the city scrambled to deal with the overwhelming demand of incoming migrants. The deluge of humanity wrapped around the lodging house, forcing the city to park several small buses outside of the premises, acting as both a place to sleep and a cooling center.
