City Hall beefed up security at a pair of controversial Brooklyn migrant shelters after back-to-back, potentially gang-linked shootings rattled residents in the once-peaceful neighborhood over the weekend, officials told The Post Wednesday.
An additional 14 NYPD cops joined the four officers stationed near the twin shelters housing nearly 4,000 migrants along Hall and Ryerson streets in Clinton Hill starting Monday, officials said.
Metal detectors were installed Tuesday in the massive 47 Hall St. shelter near Park Avenue, adding to the scanners already standing in the Ryerson site a block away, according to City Hall.
But downsizing or moving the shelters — as demanded by concerned neighbors who protested Tuesday after the Sunday shootings near Brooklyn Navy Yard — is unlikely at best, said Mayor Eric Adams.
