A heated confrontation erupted outside the Walcott Hotel in New York City after a citizen journalist spotted U.S. Army personnel on-site again.
Last week, citizen journalist Jason Goodman, founder of Crowdsource the Truth, captured footage revealing a U.S. Army presence at The Wolcott Hotel in New York City, which has been controversially converted into a mega-shelter for migrants.
The Wolcott Hotel, a historic establishment on West 31st Street, closed its doors to regular guests in 2023 due to the ongoing migrant crisis and concerns related to the COVID-19 Delta variant, as reported by the New York Post.
In footage captured by Goodman, he can be heard confronting the soldiers, questioning, “Is the army turning this thing into a migrant shelter? Why are you guys here? It’s a hotel. Why is the army at this hotel?”
The tension escalated when one soldier bluntly responded, “We’re here at the request of the State of New York.”
Goodman returned to the Wolcott Hotel only to find that the military personnel had vacated the premises.
The Gateway Pundit reached out to both the management of the Wolcott Hotel and the office of Governor Kathy Hochul for comment regarding the military’s presence, but as of now, no response has been provided.
