NYC Mayor Imposes Curfew on Migrant Centers Amid Residents' Complaints

The curfew, enforced from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., could lead to expulsion from shelters for repeated violations.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has imposed a curfew on several migrant centers in response to local residents' complaints about door-to-door begging and an increase in migrants, referred to as an 'invasion'.
The curfew, effective from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., applies to four respite centers in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. Violations of the curfew could lead to expulsion from the shelters.
Migrants needing to leave during curfew hours for work, school, or legal and medical appointments can apply for a permit.
Residents' reactions to the curfew are mixed, with some expressing skepticism about its enforcement and effectiveness.
New York's 2025 fiscal year budget plan, announced by Governor Kathy Hochul, includes an additional $500 million for the city's migrant crisis.
