Last week, Manhattan's Roosevelt Hotel became the center of a political struggle related to immigration, as it housed many Central and South American immigrants. The hotel is now claimed by Trump’s administration to be linked to criminal gang activities, leading to a confrontation over local laws that protect immigrants. This has sparked a clash between Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul, while federal prosecutors grappled with accusations of bias amid a chaotic Justice Department. The rising costs of immigration support in New York has led to significant financial strain, intensifying the debate.
The Roosevelt Hotel, now a shelter for immigrants, became a pawn in a political fight involving Trump’s agenda against immigration, with high tensions between city and state officials.
As tensions rise, Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s desire to operate within the hotel clashes with New York's sanctuary policies, revealing deep divides over immigration enforcement.
