The Randalls Island shelter has been a hotbed of violence since it began housing undocumented immigrants, with multiple incidents occurring at or near the facility over the past year.
In February, a video of undocumented immigrants attacking NYPD officers at a shelter went viral on social media. The footage showed a group of officers struggling to handcuff and detain the suspect while a group of undocumented immigrants, mostly adult men, tried to impede the arrest. Some in the violent crowd hurled backpacks and bottles at the suspect as officers eventually subdued him and led him away.

A security guard was also injured while trying to break up the altercation, local police sources said.
