Thousands of migrants arrested while housed in NYC shelters, new data shows

  • On a Friday evening in Times Square, roughly a dozen migrants linked to Venezuelan gangs attacked two NYPD officers shortly after the high-profile fight featuring Ryan Garcia and Rolly Romero.
  • The attack followed a larger migrant crisis that began in spring 2022 when thousands entered New York City, leading to the emergence of gang members living in shelters and hotels.
  • Police charged two migrants ages 16 and 17 with riot, menacing, and assault, while a 12-year-old reputed as a ringleader was released pending family court; several suspects remain under investigation.
  • New data shows that between January 2023 and October 2024, 3,219 arrestees listed city-run migrant shelters as home addresses, with 1,049 crimes recorded inside these shelters including 518 major felonies.
  • The influx strained city resources and prompted calls for federal support and policy review amid debates over sanctuary city policies and public safety concerns.
