New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Wednesday that the city will open a seventh Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center (HERC) in yet another high-end hotel to address the ongoing illegal immigrant crisis there.
The latest will be located at the three-star Wingate by Wyndham hotel in Long Island City, Queens, which will provide all of its 144 rooms on 16 floors to assist illegal immigrant families with children, according to a City of New York statement released on Feb. 15.
