New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to house an influx of migrants in sprawling tent-like structures as the city faces a surge in arrivals of migrants from the southern border.

Photos released by the mayor’s office Thursday morning showed the interior of a sprawling tent, the size of a football field, lined with dozens of orange cots arranged in tight rows. The planned shelters immediately set off alarm bells among advocates who’ve been working closely with asylum seekers helping provide food, transportation and other support while city and state agencies have been slow to meet their needs.

“‘Emergency’ tent cities become isolated refugee camps and at worst, concentration camps,” said Ariadna Phillips with South Bronx Mutual Aid, who has been in contact with dozens of families helping provide assistance and supplies. “Instead, the city should be focused on openly permanent accessible housing for low income and working class New Yorkers, including asylum seekers.”
