Mayor Eric Adams attempted to dispel rumors about conditions at the new migrant Humanitarian Relief Center in Brooklyn on Saturday by spending the night at the facility.
The mayor was joined on Feb. 4 trip to the Red Hook Cruise Terminal by Manhattan Assembly Member Eddie Gibbs and homeless advocate Shams DaBaron. There, hizzoner endeavored to meet with asylum seekers, hear their concerns, and sleep alongside them during the coldest night of the year thus far.
“What we saw is what we have seen since the beginning of this crisis, individuals who are grateful to the greatest city in the world for providing them the opportunity to work towards the American Dream,” he said. “I’d like to be clear that the facilities at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal are providing the same services to asylum seekers as every other humanitarian relief center in the city, and the team at the terminal is giving new meaning to the words ‘love thy neighbor.
While city officials have since accused several “outside agitators” of instigating the upheaval, apprehension over conditions at the humanitarian relief center remained.forced off the streets
