No, immigrants did not storm New York City Hall in pursuit of luxury hotel rooms
CLAIM: Immigrants in the U.S. illegally on Tuesday stormed New York City Hall, demanding housing in luxury hotels rather than city shelters.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Hundreds of Black immigrants assembled peacefully in City Hall Park during a hearing about racial inequities in New York’s shelter and immigrant support systems. They gathered there after it became clear that only around 100 people would be allowed into the hearing, The Associated Press reported. The New York Police Department told the AP that no arrests were made in relation to the gathering. Attendees said they came for a variety of reasons, such as to support City Council members at the hearing or to see if they could get information about jobs and housing.
THE FACTS: Social media users are misrepresenting what happened at City Hall with false claims about how the immigrants acted and why they were there.
