City officials in New York shut down a furniture store and a juice bar that were illegally converted into sleeping quarters for migrants. The properties were found to house dozens of migrants in cramped and unsafe conditions, with multiple beds crammed into small spaces. The businesses in Queens and the Bronx were both owned by the same individual, who claimed the migrants had nowhere else to go. This marks the second time in a week that such illegal shelters have been discovered, with the properties connected to the same owner.
