They demand migrants be back inside by 11 p.m.
After weeks of trying to block hundreds of migrants from moving into a former Catholic school, Staten Island officials are demanding that the city institute a curfew at the site before the new tenants move in.
The small rule will help quell growing concerns over crime in the Arrochar area as officials continue their mission to shutter the shelter’s doors, according to City Councilmember David Carr, who spearheaded the letter. The politicians claimed that the burden of corraling the hundreds of migrants would fall on the NYPD, making neighborhood security “impossible.”
