The mayor says as many as 700 asylum-seekers are arriving each day.
New York City is saying there's no more space while embracing the new surge of migrants arriving in the city. Fifteen buses with migrants were expected to arrive Friday alone. Almost every idea for sheltering asylum-seekers has been met with outrage. The city has used hotels, tents, a cruise ship terminal, and — the latest — school gyms.
In the wake of an unprecedented influx of migrants, Mayor Eric Adams is defending the city's handling of the situation. Scripps News National Correspondent, Axel Turcios: "How was the process like to get an appointment through the application?" Both Dudamel and Cardenas found shelter at a Midtown building once used for offices. The city rushed to install beds inside. Families with children arrived at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Friday. The city said is transitioning its welcome services from the Port Authority Bus Terminal to the hotel. Services are now run by NYC Health + Hospitals.
