A pair of shootings deepened quality-of-life concerns among Brooklyn neighbors of a giant office development being used to shelter migrants from Africa and Latin America.

As New York City officials struggle to provide shelter for nearly 65,000 asylum seekers, some have said they feel safer sleeping in parks, on the subway and on streets.

Dozens of migrants have been sleeping outdoors near a large shelter complex on Randall’s Island. On Monday, the city forced them to pack up their tents and move.

Thousands of asylum seekers from Latin America have arrived in the city. Why are migrants coming to New York? And what will happen to them next?

Mail delivery has become a complicated endeavor at hotels and other places converted into shelters, with important documents getting lost or delayed.

The employee, Derek Klever, told a witness that he was fed up with migrants partying at the shelter across from his apartment, according to court documents. “This is a war,” he said.

The decision to close the shelter complex, once the city’s largest, is a sign that the migrant crisis that has strained city resources is easing.

Across New York State, Republican and Democratic candidates are using the city’s migrant crisis to attract voters fearful of its effects on their districts.

New York City’s migrant shelter population has been steadily falling, but President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration stance will bring new challenges.

The administration of Mayor Eric Adams is fearful that President-elect Donald J. Trump may target a Brooklyn tent complex housing 2,000 asylum seekers on federal land.
