        Dozens of community members gathered Friday in Mott Haven, demanding the city halt plans for a proposed migrant shelter on Bruckner Boulevard.
        The facility is set to house over 2,200 single men, raising concerns among residents about safety and strained local resources.
        Protesters criticized city officials for what they say was a lack of community consultation before approving the shelter.
        The city confirmed the contract has been signed, with the shelter expected to open by the end of the month.
        An exact date has not yet been provided.
