With shelter arrests on pace to soar 64% this year, a bipartisan group of pols is demanding Mayor Adams immediately boot migrant gang members “as a matter of urgent public safety.”
The push comes as the city grapples with a baby-faced pack of violent migrant gang-bangers targeting locals and tourists in armed heists in Midtown.
High-profile crimes allegedly committed by migrants include thugs who beat up two NYPD officers in Times Square, and the fatal stabbing of a 24-year-old migrant at a city shelter on Randall’s Island.
“It has become evident that foreign-based criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua have been using taxpayer-funded shelters across the city as a base for their illicit activities, which include organized theft, robbery, assaults, sex trafficking, and in some cases, murder,” Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) wrote in a Thursday letter co-signed by five other Republicans and four Democrats.
