Migrants selling joints and food while ignoring calls to leave Randall’s Island as Adams promises security review

Migrants selling joints and food while ignoring calls to leave Randall’s Island as Adams promises security review

Migrants camping outside the increasingly lawless Randall’s Island tent city were spotted selling everything from burgers to blunts on Monday — as Mayor Eric Adams said the city would be reviewing shelter security following a fatal weekend stabbing.

The group of asylum-seekers who set up camp outside the island’s 2,000-bed site after being booted for timing out on the city residency limit appeared locked in a cat-and-mouse game with Parks Department officials — who tore down the encampment Sunday only to have it rise up again.

“The problem is that you keep coming back,” a frustrated parks worker told the group of more than a dozen migrants in Spanish Monday morning.

“You’re not putting a foot forward to get out of this situation. You keep coming back to the same place where you’re not helping yourself,” he said.

“Yes, you work for your family, to send money to your family. But you come back here doing things you’re not supposed to be doing. This is a public park.”

But the plea fell on deaf ears — and not long after, the rogue group set up folding tables against police barrier gates and used small propane burners to cook burgers, which they began selling to fellow migrants, along with coffee, hot chocolate, loose cigarettes and rolled marijuana joints.
