| Migrants refuse to leave Hell's Kitchen hotel for relocation to Brooklyn |
| 2023-01-30 |
| [NYP] Dozens of migrants stood their ground outside the Watson Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen on Sunday night and refused to leave for a new shelter at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. Cops had mobilized around the hotel around 10 p.m. as more than 50 migrants were standing outside with activists assisting with food, water and translations. Single men were supposed to be brought to the new shelter over the weekend that would provide the same services they’ve been receiving, city officials said. At one point, a city bus arrived and a small number of migrants jumped on, though the vast majority stayed put in front of the hotel on West 57th Street. Activists argued the migrants were being forced out of the hotel. One Manhattan activist told The Post the men outside were staying at the hotel and were prepared to stay outside overnight. Some were moved to the new shelter earlier this weekend, but opted to return to the Manhattan site, she said. |

| #2 I thought Hells Kitchen was renamed "Clinton" some time back. Of course, the locals ignored that memo. |

| #1 And the average Manhattanite thinks "They don't want to go to Brooklyn. So?" |
