‘Climate of terror’: New York’s migrants and asylum seekers brace for Trump

Al Jazeera  

More than 200,000 asylum seekers and migrants have arrived in the US city in the past two years. Dubbed the “new Ellis Island” of New York City, the Roosevelt Hotel has welcomed upwards of 150,000 migrants and asylum seekers from more than 160 countries since reopening as a shelter. “If we can’t get assistance from New York City, we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City,” Homan told Fox News in November. “He hasn’t said everybody will be deported.” Lopez was sceptical Trump would give him the boot, estimating he had a “50/50” shot at remaining in the country, depending on his asylum application. He’s going to make America great again.” While Allabouch admitted that Trump was “not good for immigration”, he said he had faith that the president-elect would not send him back to Morocco.
