NEW YORK CITY — Mayor Eric Adams is expanding curfews to additional migrant shelters in Queens and Brooklyn in response to community complaints, a result of violent incidents attributed to migrant shelter residents that have gained nation attention in recent weeks.

The decision expands curfews to 20 migrant shelters in Queens and Brooklyn, compared to the four in which the measure was active until now. The curfews will be in place from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. and will impact about 3,600 migrants. The largest shelter impacted is one in Long Island City in Queens, which houses 1,000 migrants.
