NYC Warns Migrants Funding for Upstate Hotel Rooms Is Ending

Officials in New York City have quietly told hundreds of migrants that the city will stop funding hotels in upstate Albany and migrants will have to leave their free lodging by mid-December.

Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ administration has told up to 220 migrant families currently lodged in hotels in Albany, New York, that their deadline of Dec. 31 has been moved forward to Dec. 15 as the city moves to phase out its funding of the hotels {snip}

The announcement came on the heels of the arrest of several migrants in Rensselaer, New York, in connection with a murder in Connecticut that is suspected of being tied to the dangerous, bloodthirsty Venezuelan Tren de Aragua criminal gang.{snip}

New York City officials are also phasing out funding for several other hotels in the city itself. The 23-room Hotel Merit in Times Square and the 73-room Quality Inn JFK Airport are both losing their city migrant contracts at the end of this year {snip}

Even with these rollbacks, though, the city is still looking to contract for 14,000 rooms for migrants over the next few years, totaling up to about $6.1 billion in spending, with $2.41 billion having already been spent since 2022.
