Migrants In New York City Setup Camp On Bank Of East River On Randall's Island

NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 12: Young men from Venezuela, who are living in a tent, sit with their luggage after reaching their time limits at city-run shelters for migrants and their families on August 12, 2024, in New York City. Dozens of people are estimated to be living along the fringes of the city’s mass shelter on the island, which houses thousands of adult migrants. In an effort to try and drive down the number of migrants in city shelters, Mayor Eric Adams is setting a strict 30-day rule for single men at the facilities. These men, many from Latin America and Africa, are forced to cook over open fires, bathe, and retrieve water from the nearby East River. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
