Migrants are cleared from sidewalk outside $450-a-night Manhattan hotel in ... trends now
Woke activist attempts to force a swanky Midtown Manhattan hotel to house hordes of migrants failed overnight as the frenzied scene was cleared.
An influx of migrants that filled the sidewalk outside The Watson Hotel after they were evicted by the city has finally been moved after a tense stand-off between police and left-wing agitators.
Despite some migrants initially boarding a bus that would have taken them to a new shelter in Brooklyn yesterday, many migrants instead attempted to remain at the Watson Hotel as protestors continue to demand they are put up.
The deadlock outside the hotel was worsening as a bitter cold snap is set to hit New York City in the coming days that will see temperatures plummet to below-zero.
Workers from the Department of Sanitation have since cleared the encampment of tents, with only a group of police and media remaining at the site.

Despite repeated attempts to move the group, around 25-35 migrants attempted to remain defiant, bolstered by left-wing activists who demanded that they be housed and fed in the expensive hotel.
But their demonstration alongside the migrants proved futile as the scene was cleared by Thursday morning, with the mayor's new facility now housing and feeding the influx.
City Hall blamed activists from groups including South Bronx Mutual Aid for fueling the standoff, with mayoral press secretary Fabien Levy saying before the clear-out: 'I don't even understand the logic here.
'Instead of encouraging asylum seekers to sleep in warm, indoor, temperature-controlled quarters at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, these groups are telling migrants to sleep in tents on the streets.
'The lack of reasoning here is astounding.'
Adams, who has been flip-flopping between begging the federal government for assistance to deal with the flood of migrants and boasting about his city being welcoming, made an in-person visit to the new Brooklyn site on Monday.
