Did New York City have illegal immigrants housed in high-rise hotels

The claim that New York City housed illegal immigrants in high-rise hotels is partially true, as various sources indicate that the city has indeed been sheltering a significant number of migrants, including undocumented individuals, in hotels. Reports suggest that around 65,000 migrants are currently being housed in various accommodations, including hotels, due to a legal mandate requiring the city to provide shelter to those in need. However, the characterization of these hotels as "high-rise" and the implication that they are luxury accommodations may not fully align with the reality of the situation. Many of the hotels used for this purpose are not high-end or luxury establishments, and the city has been utilizing a range of facilities to manage the influx of migrants. Therefore, while the claim has some basis in fact, it lacks nuance regarding the types of hotels involved and the broader context of the city's response to the migrant situation.
