Two hotels in New York City have come under criminal investigation for their roles as migrant shelters. This development follows Mayor Eric Adams’ statement about the city being overwhelmed by border crossers and illegal aliens. The Department of Justice is now examining the funding and operations at these locations, with subpoenas issued to gather more information.
The Roosevelt Hotel, serving as a migrant shelter and intake center, and the Stewart Hotel, also a migrant shelter, are both under scrutiny. Additionally, the Hotel Chandler, used as a homeless shelter, has received a subpoena. These subpoenas suggest a possible breach of federal immigration law, according to Fox News.
Since 2023, approximately 170,000 migrants have been processed through the Roosevelt Hotel, reports CBS New York. Officials are now seeking names and birth dates of migrants linked to these locations. This comes as New York City agreed to pay up to $220 million to the Roosevelt Hotel, owned by the Pakistani government.
This agreement was reportedly part of a $1.1 billion bailout package from the International Monetary Fund to assist Pakistan in avoiding debt default. Former investment banker John LeFevre highlighted this connection. Meanwhile, Mayor Adams declared in January 2024 that the city had no space for the influx of over 160,000 border crossers since early 2022.
Further complicating matters, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency uncovered a $59 million FEMA payment for housing migrants in luxury hotels in New York City. Musk made this announcement, raising questions about the Biden administration’s previous claims. Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had denied that FEMA funds were supporting illegal aliens.
In response to these developments, Mayor Adams announced that the Roosevelt Hotel would close within months. Services from the Roosevelt Hotel will be redistributed to other facilities. The Adams administration plans to shut down 53 shelters by June, according to Breitbart News.
The situation underscores the ongoing challenges faced by New York City in managing the migrant crisis. Concerns about the use of federal funds and the legality of operations at these hotels are at the forefront. The DOJ’s investigation will likely shed more light on these issues.
Many conservatives argue that the city’s approach to handling the migrant influx is unsustainable. They point to the financial burden and potential legal violations as major concerns. The involvement of international entities in local affairs also raises questions about accountability and governance.
Critics of the current administration emphasize the need for stricter immigration policies. They argue that the surge in border crossings has overwhelmed city resources and strained public services. The situation in New York City is seen as a microcosm of broader national challenges related to immigration.
Conservative voices continue to call for increased border security and enforcement of existing immigration laws. They believe that a firm stance on immigration is necessary to maintain order and protect American interests. The ongoing debate highlights deep divisions in how to address the migrant crisis.
The closure of migrant shelters like the Roosevelt Hotel is seen by some as a step in the right direction. However, the larger issue of managing the migrant population remains unresolved. The DOJ’s findings may influence future policy decisions and enforcement actions.
As the investigation unfolds, all eyes are on the administration’s next moves. The outcome could have significant implications for the city’s handling of migrants. Conservatives hope for a resolution that prioritizes law and order while addressing humanitarian concerns.
In the meantime, the debate over immigration policy continues to be a hot-button issue. It remains a focal point for political discussions and media coverage. The developments in New York City serve as a reminder of the complex nature of immigration and the challenges it poses to urban centers.
With New York City at the center of this controversy, the national conversation on immigration is unlikely to wane. Stakeholders from various sectors are watching closely to see how the situation evolves. The resolution of these issues will be pivotal in shaping the future of immigration policy in the United States.
“This comes as New York City agreed to pay up to $220 million to the Roosevelt Hotel, owned by the Pakistani government.”

“Pakistan is supportive and is home to at least 12 groups designated as ‘foreign terrorist organizations’, including five of them being India-centric like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, according to a latest Congressional report on terrorism.”
“US officials have identified Pakistan as a base of operations or target for numerous armed and non-state militant groups, some of which have existed since the 1980s, the independent Congressional Research Service (CRS) said in the report.” ://www.firstpost.com/world/pakistan
“Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM)—also known as the Army of Mohammed, Khudamul Islam, and Tehrik ul-Furqaan among other names—is an extremist group based in Pakistan. It was founded by Masood Azhar in early 2000 upon his release from prison in India. The group’s aim is to unite Kashmir with Pakistan and to expel foreign troops from Afghanistan. JEM has openly declared war against the United States.”
“JEM has at least several hundred armed supporters located in Pakistan, India’s southern Kashmir and Doda regions, and in the Kashmir Valley. Supporters are mostly Pakistanis and Kashmiris, but also include Afghans and Arab veterans of the Afghan war against the Soviets. The group uses light and heavy machine guns, assault rifles, mortars, improvised explosive devices, and rocket-propelled grenades in its attacks. The US State Department designated JEM a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 2001.” ://www.dni.gov/nctc/groups/jem.html

So the American taxpayers are not only subsidizing the Pakistani regime through the laundering of money through their hotel and their unlawful abetting and harboring of illegal aliens. And please don’t tell me that the NYC government had no idea when they participated in these contracts.
“Damn Straight!” Of course they knew full well!
DOGE revealed this. The current administration is beginning to remedy this. When you learn who did this, hunt them down. Make them and their corrupt families pay. No federal funds ! Let the sanctuary city and the sanctuary state pay. Outrageous !
Thanks, Joe ! Thanks, ca-MAL-ah ! Thanks, Mayorkas ! Remember who is trying to fix it, and who is trying to prevent the fixing. I’m just a mailman, who will never be able to afford a luxury hotel.
The 3 you name should be behind bars right now!
Herd them up and move them out!
No federal money ! Let the sanctuary jurisdiction pay.
Lock up slut Hochul for using taxpayers money on criminal activities supporting illegals aliens. That’s a federal crime supporting the enemy of the USA. She was laundering taxpayers money in criminal activities. Then she tried to hide her crimes from the American people.
