Tensions Rise Between Migrants And Police In New York City

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 06: Police patrol in Times Square on February 06, 2024 in New York City. Seven migrants were arrested, including several Monday morning in an NYPD raid in the Bronx, which targeted a gang that was using scooters to snatch mobile phones, bags, and wallets from pedestrians. The arrests come after the release of a surveillance video that shows several migrant men kicking officers on a sidewalk and trying to pry them off a man police had taken to the ground. The recent incidents involving migrants, which now number over 150,000 in New York City, has increased tensions in New York which is struggling to house and pay for the recent arrivals.
