NEW YORK (WABC) -- Starting Tuesday, New York City will impose a curfew on 1,900 migrants staying at four centers.

The centers are located in Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. Migrants will need to be there between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The change comes after residents of neighboring communities complained of panhandling by asylum seekers.
