Protesters Unite Against Queens' Creedmoor Psychiatric Center Shelter

Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens to rally against the newly opened tent shelter for asylum seekers, resulting in at least 13 arrests. The shelter, located in the parking lot of the Creedmoor campus, is expected to house 1,000 single adult men. Protesters expressed concerns about safety, the proximity to schools and playgrounds, and the lack of job opportunities in the area. City officials defended the shelter, stating that they have run out of space and funds for new arrivals, with over 58,500 migrants remaining in the city's care.
