NYC’s Roosevelt Hotel has become a hotbed for Tren de Aragua gang activity, where children as young as 11-years-old are recruited
Purchased by the Pakistani government in 2000, it now leases the hotel to the City of New York for $220 million for use as a migrant processing center
Owners were planning on closing the hotel permanently, but were forced to re-open after its union demanded $66 million
Following a quote tweet from incoming Department of Government Efficiency co-czar Vivek Ramaswamy, New York City’s Roosevelt Hotel has returned to the spotlight in the discourse around immigration, state capacity, and NYC local politics. “A taxpayer-funded hotel for illegal migrants is owned by the Pakistani government which means NYC taxpayers are effectively paying a foreign government to house illegals in our own country. This is nuts,” Ramaswamy said.
