Violent Clash at New York Migrant Shelter Leads to Multiple Arrests

Police bodycam footage reveals a chaotic scene at a Yonkers hotel, resulting in the arrest of two migrants after a confrontation with officers.

Police responded to a disturbance at a Ramada Inn in Yonkers, where Arnal Kent and Yainilet Hernandez were arrested.
Kent, accused of menacing and disorderly conduct, was released without bail, while Hernandez faces charges including assault.
The incident, captured on bodycam, shows migrants and police in a tense standoff, with Hernandez attempting to block officers.
The Ramada Inn has been housing approximately 250 migrants since May 2023, amidst NYC's ongoing asylum seeker accommodation crisis.
Local authorities and migrant advocates are closely monitoring the situation, amid concerns over treatment and safety at migrant shelters.
