New York City's migrant reception system is facing severe strain as over 170,000 migrants and asylum-seekers have arrived since 2022, with hundreds arriving daily for nearly two years. A mayoral spokesperson stated, 'We’re out of space and we’re out of money.' Migrants like Rogelio Ramon, who crossed into El Paso and was bussed to Manhattan, find themselves at the mercy of this overwhelmed system. The situation is exacerbated by the city's sanctuary status, which has come under criticism amid a rise in migrant crimes. Officials noted that last year, ICE issued 109 detainer requests to the NYPD, none of which were honored. As illegal migration continues to challenge border agents and sanctuary cities nationwide, places like Roxbury are also feeling the pressure, with a temporary migrant shelter nearing capacity shortly after opening.
