Arrivals were welcomed and housed in a Manhattan hotel upon arrival, but are now warehoused in a frigid corner of Brooklyn
last August. The hotel will now house female migrants and children.
Landaeta echoed the concerns of some of the migrants who initially came here and returned to Manhattan to protest their new living conditions.BrooklynThe beds are “jail-like” and one has to cross the street to take a shower; it is inhumanely cold, and there is no space for personal belongings in the warehouse-like space filled with hundreds of beds uniformly spread apart: these are the concerns migrants shared.
While many asylum seekers were horrified at the facility and either moved to other shelters, to others’ houses who were hosting them or to different cities, some decided to stay put. And not all were angry at their treatment. While they await their paperwork, they are employed in under-the-table jobs that are “rife with abuse”, said Uzurin. All the while, they are “shuffled” from one accommodation to another, which makes it nearly impossible for them to maintain or establish their footing in the job market.
