An overflow site for illegal immigrants at a Roxbury recreation center in Boston is already reaching full capacity just more than a week after it first opened, according to the city’s mayor, Michelle Wu.

Ms. Wu made the remarks on the podcast “Java with Jimmy” on Feb. 7, noting that the 400-person capacity at the state-owned Melnea A. Cass Recreational Complex in the city’s Roxbury neighborhood is filling up faster than initially anticipated.
