Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.New York City’s largest relief center for migrants opened Sunday on Randall’s Island, where officials said there will be enough space for up to 3,000 new arrivals.
“These facilities are well constructed,” said Castro. “They have quite a lot of ample space for migrants, for asylum seekers to congregate and spread out to.
