On Thursday, Mayor Eric Adams confirmed reports of Senegalese migrants moving into the controversial pilot Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center (HERRC) built on Randall’s Island, New York City.
“What happened was that we’re using the HERRCs to all asylum seekers and migrants, no matter where they’re coming from,” said Adams. “We’re using the HERRCs to do the process as we continue with the appropriate measures, making sure we give the housing that’s needed.
Shortly after the shelter opened, Adams told 1010 WINS on 92.3 FM the city’s long-term plan was to dismantle the HERRC but would use the facility for other purposes for the time being. Currently, there are no accurate official cost estimates for the Randall’s Island center. “We’ve seen in other locations where it’s not the same type of warm or welcoming atmosphere, but here in New York, we see the efforts that the Mayor’s Office is doing,” said Ndao. “We are very aware of all the efforts on Randall’s Island and some hotels that are taken by the public offices to make sure that the dignity of these people is taken care of.”
“If you can feed five, you can feed six, if you can sleep seven, you can sleep eight—all this stuff and their math and what they do, we can feed each other,” said Taylor. “I know that from living and I’m not saying this is right what they’ve done to us, but we will not let our brothers and sisters lie in the scenario that they’ve dumped them in. That’s inhumane. They didn’t ask for it. Our job is to help them and hold those accountable that [are] doing that.
“There are people that feel ‘well, what about us?’ or have questions and some of them are valid if they’ve always felt a sense of disenfranchisement. But I think most New Yorkers are able to say, ‘well, no, actually, these are people that are being taken advantage of, and let’s welcome them with humanity.’”
