NYC's 'Adams Tent City' FINALLY welcomes migrants - with more than 100 Senegalese migrants who crossed the southern border moving in after Bronx imam asked to house them
2022-11-04
[Daily Mail, where Americagets its news] So now it's a mosque?
  • Around 100 Senegalese migrants arrived on Sunday at NYC's 'Adams Tent City'

  • Bronx imam Omar Niass of the Masjid Ansaru-Deen helped to coordinate their arrival to Randall's Island from Brazil

  • The 'Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center' opened last month

  • The tent city consists of around 500 beds and has washing machines and TVs

  • It is now thought to be housing mainly Venezuelans and Senegalese migrants

Niass has been working with the migrants for some time and would often pick up those arriving at JFK airport.

'Sometimes, the church gives them plane tickets to JFK and I have to go and pick them up,' he said.

Niass said that he had been working with Pastor Gilford Monrose, executive director of Adams' Office of Faith-Based and Community Partnerships, to organize the arrival of the migrants .

He said that the majority of the migrants had been working in Brazil. When they heard the border was open they left their jobs to migrate, many of them taking Greyhound buses up to the city, he told the New York Post.

#4  Why do they need a tent city. Can’t they just wander around the subway assaulting people randomly like everyone else does? I am for integration not immigration. They need to fit into NY culture.

#3  Single men. Families, women and children get sent to hotels.
