The curfew is from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., the New York Post reports. Migrants staying at respite centers will have to check in, and curfews are similar to those in place at homeless shelters in the city. People living near migrant housing centers have complained asylum seekers are begging door to door for food and clothes, according to the New York Post.

Migrant housing residents are being told of the new rules on Monday, with Tuesday being the first night the City Hall directive is in effect.

They usually have a child with them. They have their telephone, their iPhone and on it, it says, in English, ‘I'm a migrant from Floyd Bennett Field, please give me money.’ It's very, very concerning because at times, they find them on their property." Nearly 2,000 migrants being sheltered in a tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field arrived at James Madison High School on Bedford Avenue, forcing students to pivot to remote learning last week.

According to the New York Daily News, Adams told reporters that it was being done out of an "overabundance of caution." Although Adams has been criticized for the relocation, he has recently feuded with the federal government, pleading with the Biden administration for help as migrants are bussed to his city, and other sanctuary cities, nationwide.
