New York City is expanding a curfew to additional migrant shelters after violent incidents attributed to migrant shelter residents gained national attention in recent weeks.
Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will impose an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew at 20 migrant shelters starting Monday, after initially placing the restrictions at four other locations, The Daily News reports.
The curfew impacts about 3,600 migrants, with the largest of the emergency centers housing roughly 1,000 migrants in Long Island City, Queens.
City officials initially placed a curfew on four shelters last month in response to neighborhood complaints.
The additional curfews come after a spate of migrant-related violence and crime has prompted increasingly dire rhetoric from city and police officials.
