The hordes of migrants camped outside Manhattan’s historic Roosevelt Hotel were cleared Thursday — after Mayor Eric Adams was cursed out by fed-up New Yorkers during a surprise visit to the makeshift processing center.
Hizzoner arrived at the Midtown hotel, which has become the epicenter of the city’s spiraling migrant crisis, just before 10 p.m. Wednesday.
But he wasn’t just met by the dozens of slumbering asylum seekers sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder on the sidewalk.
A crowd of frustrated residents took the opportunity to confront the mayor, with video shared on social media showing them shouting obscenities and urging him to “do something.”
“Do something Eric Adams,” one person yells in the clip.
“How many family members have to wait for you to f–king do something?”
A source who was with Adams described the chaotic scene as “wild.”
“It was wild, there were protestors, people were shouting and screaming,” the source told The Post.
“He [Adams] was a little upset, he felt they needed a little more law and order over there.”
