Overview

• More than two dozen migrants were expected to be evicted, but confusion and extensions left only three actually removed from shelters.
• City officials had announced evictions in response to budget constraints, targeting around 2,000 individuals for removal by end of April.
• Extensions were granted for medical reasons and to those in the process of securing housing or applying for public benefits, affecting 31 of the 34 migrants scheduled for eviction.
• Protests erupted in communities over the use of local facilities for migrant housing, with calls for their reopening for community use.
• The city's shelter system currently houses about 11,000 migrants, with plans to 'decompress' the most expensive shelters to manage resources.
