New York City will implement a curfew at four migrant “respite centers” across the five boroughs as communities surrounding shelters have fumed over new arrivals begging at their doors, Mayor Eric Adams’ office confirmed on Monday.
The curfew will require migrants at the four respite centers where it is being imposed to check in at 11 p.m. and stay inside until 6 a.m. — the same curfew that is in place at shelters run by the city’s Dept. of Homeless Services, according to City Hall. The move comes in response to communities surrounding some migrant shelters complaining about newcomers going door-to-door asking for food, clothing or money, according to reporting by THE CITY.
