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

This is nuts,” Ramaswamy said.
