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.

I received reports by one of my sources at the JFK migrant shelter that yesterday there was an incident that occurred between a migrant and a staff member.  The migrants made a threat to the staff, saying, " You don't want to mess with me. 

" I'm from Choneros gang."

I did some research on this gang and here's what I found: Los Choneros is an organized crime syndicate and drug cartel based in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, with a notable presence along much of the country's coastline. The gang is known for its involvement in organized crime, including drug trafficking, extortion, and robbery. Many of its members have been on the Ecuadorian most wanted list and its original leaders have been imprisoned or killed. Their main business is moving cocaine to the United States

Does anyone else see the irony here?  NYC decides to impose a 'new' curfew while a the same time ignoring the immigration 'curfews' already on the books.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
