New York City has leased the Roosevelt Hotel, owned by the Pakistani government, for $220 million to house undocumented migrants. The 19-storey hotel was closed in 2020 but reopened this year under the deal. The lease agreement forms part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout for Pakistan. Critics like Vivek Ramaswamy have slammed the arrangement, arguing it uses taxpayer money to benefit a foreign government. The deal has reignited debates on immigration spending and government waste.
