Migrants are LOCKED OUT of NYC hotel and ordered to head to Brooklyn trends now
A cruise ship terminal is likely to be the next stop for New York City's migrants after they've been locked out of various Big Apple hotels, as some activists say the move is not an adequate fix.
Mayor Eric Adams announced that the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal will open Monday and house about 1,000 single adult male migrants.
The migrants, who have been ferried across the city from a tent shelter on Randall's Island to various hotels, will head to the terminal starting Monday morning from the Watson Hotel in Midtown, with DailyMail.com cameras capturing some being pressured to get on buses to Red Hook Sunday night.
Only a small number of the migrants chose to get on the buses, with three departing the hotel carrying a total of about 15-20 people. That hotel will then replace the single male migrants with families that are currently lodging at The Row in Hell's Kitchen.

This will not be a permanent home, as the city has promised to close the facility in time for cruise season to begin in spring.
The asylum seekers were interviewed on video by reporters Sunday night, where one complained that conditions would be inhumane and there'd be a lack of proper food.
Adams has been bullish on asking for federal help, which included a rally outside City Hall Sunday.
Washington has approved $800million in spending to aid the crisis but it will go to various cities across the country.
Even if it were all going to New York, the city will still spend more money on its own to help the migrants, according to ABC7.
However, Adams bragged Sunday that the migrants will live in better conditions than in other cities.
'People are sleeping on the streets in El Paso,' Adams said at the rally. 'There sleeping in airports. I spoke to my colleague in Chicago, people are sleeping in the basement of libraries. No family is sleeping on our streets.'
