In a recent development affecting migrant shelters in New York City, approximately 3,600 migrants across 20 shelters are now subjected to new curfew rules as of Monday. This policy change mandates that migrants are restricted from leaving or entering shelters between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Reasoning Behind the Curfew Implementation

While the specific rationale for selecting these shelters for the curfew remains unclear, it is speculated that the decision may be influenced by the population density within these facilities. Notably, the targeted shelters primarily consist of smaller hotels.

Prevalence of Curfew Policies

The imposition of curfew policies is not novel to these migrant shelters, as similar regulations are already in place in larger migrant shelters and are commonplace in many homeless shelters across the city.

City Hall’s Justification and Intentions

According to a statement from New York City Hall, the implementation of the curfew is aimed at safeguarding the health and well-being of the migrants under the city’s care, as well as ensuring the safety of surrounding communities.

Reception Among Affected Migrants

Upon inquiry by Eyewitness News, some impacted migrants expressed their acceptance of the new curfew rule, provided that individuals with work obligations are permitted to remain outside past 11 p.m., which is affirmed to be the case.

Impact on Migrant Families

Many migrants highlighted their adherence to the curfew, noting that due to familial responsibilities and daily routines, they typically retire by 11 p.m., thereby experiencing minimal disruption from the policy change.



Concerns and Support from the Community

While residents neighboring one of the migrant shelters in Hell’s Kitchen voiced their concerns regarding migrant safety, particularly in an area known for its vibrant nightlife scene, others extended a warm welcome to the migrants, emphasizing the nation’s history as a melting pot of cultures.

Larger Context of Migrant Shelters in the City

The newly enforced curfew affects a portion of the over 200 emergency shelters housing migrants across New York City, shedding light on the broader landscape of migrant accommodation within the metropolis.
