After New York Mayor Eric Adams announced plans for a 2,000-bed migrant shelter in the Bronx, Rep. Ritchie Torres slammed the decision, accusing Adams of creating an immigrant “dumping ground."

New York City is opening a new migrant shelter in the Bronx capable of housing up to 2,200 residents, Mayor Eric Adams announced Friday.

By the time the shelters are set to close in June, the city hopes to have shuttered roughly 45 over the proceeding 12 months. Currently, fewer than 51,000 migrants are using city shelter services, marking the smallest amount in more than a year.

The Hall Street shelter in Brooklyn, which drew numerous complaints, is among several that will soon close in New York.

Shelters in all five boroughs, including the massive and controversial Hall Street facility in Brooklyn, are expected to close by the summer, removing 10,000 beds in total, Adams said.

Retrofitting the building for the new shelter will reportedly cost the Democrat-run sanctuary city between $250,000 and $340,000.
