NYC expands curfew on migrant shelters

New York City is reportedly expanding a curfew to additional migrant shelters.

This, after violent incidents attributed to migrant shelter residents gained national attention in recent weeks.

A report by Associated Press says the 11pm to 6am curfew will be imposed at 20 migrant shelters starting Monday.

The curfew impacts about 3,600 migrants, with the largest of the emergency centers housing nearly 1,000 migrants in Long Island City, Queens.

AP says city officials initially placed a curfew on four shelters last month in response to neighborhood complaints.

One of the incidents attracting national attention was a brawl involving a group of migrants and police in Times Square last month which led to several arrests.
