NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 15: Newly arrived asylum seekers wait in a holding area at the Port Authority bus terminal before being sent off to area shelters and hotels on May 15, 2023 in New York City. The historic Roosevelt Hotel in midtown is being prepped to reopen shortly to accommodate an anticipated influx of asylum seekers into New York City. With migrants arriving weekly on buses from Texas and other parts of the country, Mayor Eric Adams' administration is under pressure to find shelter for the thousands of individuals and families looking to start new lives in America. Mayor Adams announced Saturday that the city will utilize the closed hotel to eventually provide as many as 1,000 rooms for migrants.
