Migrant children host parties in NYC shelters.

Former Employee Reveals Shocking Conditions at NYC Migrant Hotel

“Every day, we find about 10 kids alone in their hotel rooms, either drinking or doing drugs, weapons will be in the room,” said Carlos Arellano, a former employee at the Row NYC Hotel. “It’s basically a free-for-all.”

Arellano’s account of what goes on at the Row NYC Hotel is truly shocking. According to him, the hotel is a hotbed of illegal activity, with drugs, weapons, and underage drinking being commonplace. He even claims to have found a 10-year-old girl intoxicated in one of the rooms.

What’s even more disturbing is that the staff are apparently not allowed to intervene when they see these things happening. Arellano says that they’re not even sure if some of the adults claiming to be parents are actually telling the truth, as they often use fake documents.

“But we’re not allowed to go in there,” Arellano said. “We’re not allowed to take anything from them.”

It’s clear that the migrants staying at the Row NYC Hotel are bringing their own cultural mindsets with them from their home countries. Arellano says that they don’t appreciate what they have and often think that there are no rules or laws to be followed in the United States.

Political Fallout

The situation at the Row NYC Hotel has become a political issue in New York. Governor Kathy Hochul has urged local leaders to be more accepting of migrants, while Mayor Eric Adams has been vocal in his opposition to Texas leaders busing migrants to his city.

• Governor Hochul: Told local leaders to be less “bigoted” and accept busloads of migrants.
• Mayor Adams: Has been vocal in his opposition to Texas leaders busing migrants to his city, claiming New York is out of room.

It remains to be seen what will happen next, but one thing is clear: the situation at the Row NYC Hotel is unacceptable and needs to be addressed immediately.
