Migrants are being sent from Texas to NYC with paperwork theoretically directing them to shelters – but in many cases the addresses are wrong and aren’t shelters at all, but offices or non-family facilities.
"It's clear that somebody at the border is giving people information that is not accurate about why they should come to New York, where they should go when they get to New York -- that is definitely happening," Josh Goldfein, a staff attorney with the Homeless Rights Project at the Legal Aid Society, said Thursday.
"I have not seen the form that you're referencing, but we would definitely look into it and follow up to see if we can determine where the notices are coming from so we can course-correct," Jenkins said in an interview Thursday. For his young daughter, only 6 years old, the ordeal — which would be a nightmare to most people — still beat the alternative.In New York City's homeless shelters, migrant families have not received the proper help, which could violate a 2008 court settlement that requires the provision of proper shelter in the city. Melissa Russo reports.
But it's not just that people are being sent to the wrong addresses and turned away. According to Catholic Charities, weeks after these migrants appear and depart, crucial paperwork has been showing up for them at these mistaken addresses. "It's absolutely unacceptable, the fact that over 200 people have had their hearing notices a Catholic Charities agency," said Maryann Tharappel, the attorney in charge of immigrant refugee services at Catholic Charities.
Mayor Adams is calling for federal funding as thousands of migrant families from Central and South America are being shipped to NYC’s homeless shelter system from border states who don't want them — but the governors of Arizona and Texas deny they’re shipping families off with one-way tickets and slammed Adams for being content with Biden's immigration policies until the crisis touched his own backyard. Melissa Russo reports.
