A group of migrants has set up a makeshift camp outside of a large shelter in New York City, forming a "constellation" of tents, according to a report.

The East River bank was dotted with around 20 tents, while other migrants huddled under tarps using black trash bags as blankets, according to a report from the City.

According to a report, migrants were removed from a large shelter on an island in New York and established a series of tent encampments nearby.

Numerous encampment dwellers conversed with The City regarding the reasons behind their presence there. The City disclosed that they were evicted from the Randall's Island shelter due to the expiration of their 30-day residency. Nearby a large shelter, a growing encampment resides, housing "thousands of adult migrants."

The encampment reportedly grew in recent months.

Guillermo Contreras informed The City that there is no other option but to stay put.

Guillermo added, "We’re here, waiting to see what happens because we don't know where to go."

On the East River bank, approximately 20 tents were set up, while other migrants sought shelter under tarps, using black trash bags as makeshift blankets.

According to The City, those without tents spent nights sleeping on inflatable air mattresses, camping mats, or cardboard.

In March, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city would limit its "right to shelter" policy to a 30-day stay.

The city has the right to deny re-entry to individuals who have been in the system for more than 30 days, except for those with extenuating circumstances or disabilities that require a brief extension in shelter or reasonable accommodations, as stated by Adams' office.

Under unfavorable weather, the living conditions seem challenging for migrants. Several migrants reported that their tents and clothes become wet due to rain.

Stefano Pachon Romero, a 24-year-old fluent in Spanish, shared with The City that he has been struggling with his health while residing outdoors.

Romero stated, "I've experienced both the cold and heat, and I've become ill."

Romero was forced to live in a park for five months after his 30 days in the shelter expired and he was denied access to return.

Romero stated, "I would love to have shelter on Randall's Island, regardless of the location, on a little cot."
