New York City to impose curfew on migrants staying at four centers across city
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.
Anyone who breaks the curfew three times in 30 days could be kicked out.
The four centers are:
- 35th Ave Astoria and Judo (37-11 35th Street, Queens, NY 11106)
- Lincoln Manhattan (31-33 W 110th St, NY, NY 10026)
- JFK Respite Center (197 North Boundary Rd., Queens, NY 11427
- Stockton (359 Stockton St., Brooklyn, NY 11206)
In total, the policy applies to approximately 1,900 asylum seekers across the four sites.
