NEW YORK (NewsNation) — New York City is expanding a curfew to additional migrant shelters after violent incidents the city attributes to migrant shelter residents gained national attention in recent weeks.
Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will impose an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew at 20 migrant shelters starting Monday, after initially placing the restrictions at four other locations, a spokesperson said Sunday.
The curfew will impact about 3,600 migrants, the majority of whom are single men, with the largest of the emergency centers housing nearly 1,000 migrants in Long Island City, Queens, according to the mayor’s office.
All male migrants were recently involved in two attacks involving the New York Police Department. In the first incident, captured on video in Times Square, a group of migrants are accused of viciously attacking two officers.
