NEW YORK CITY — At the back of The Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown, the city's Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation Center, families line up with their eviction notice in hand and their entire lives packed up in plastic bags and carts. They've been evicted from their shelter placements and must re-check in at the hotel to be sheltered somewhere else for the next 60 days.
New York City continues to to grapple with an ever-increasing influx of migrants. Almost 170,000 have arrived since mid 2022, overcrowding and overwhelming the city's emergency shelter system.
