Migrants moved from a Manhattan hotel to a Brooklyn shelter say it's not suitable for living, though the mayor's office say it has the same services.
In despair and visibly exhausted, groups of migrants are refusing to leave a hotel in midtown Manhattan to relocate to a new relief center in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
According to a statement from Fabien Levy, Adams' press secretary, the transition occurred to make room in the hotel for asylum-seeking families with children. It went on to say:"The facilities at Brooklyn Cruise Terminal will provide the same services as every other humanitarian relief center in the city, and the scheduled relocations to Brooklyn Cruise Terminal this weekend took place as planned.
Piñango is one of the hundreds of migrants who was previously sent to tents on Randall's Island, but the shelter was short-lived due to its lack of use, according to Adams, who then moved the migrants — mostly single adult men — to the Manhattan hotel.
