FOX 5 New York spoke exclusively with migrants living at a shelter in Queens who say they were targeted by a group of aggressive protesters this week who demanded they go back to where they came from.
"They were coming on to us, the shelter staff told us to get inside quick and were telling the protestor not to get close, but they still did," she said.
Niove Montaña, another resident staying at the motel, stated, "They were holding up signs and yelling at us. The only thing I understood was 'We don't want illegals here.'"
