ing a housing crisis in the city’s shelter system.

Migrants were evicted from the hotel on Jan. 27 after the city relocated them to the HERRC in Brooklyn. Following their forced removal, a group of migrants traveled back to The Watson the day they were evicted and began camping outside the hotel in protest of the conditions they had witnessed at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

Some of the protestors said that they returned to the hotel from the Brooklyn HERCC because the new site failed to provide adequate hygienic facilities and personal security. The shelter at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is a hangarlike structure with hundreds of beds laid out in rows in an open arrangement, and migrants who had been sent there reported insufficient access to bathrooms and showers, fears of an outbreak of disease, and inaccessibility to reliable transportation to the rest of the city.

The Rams had a slow first quarter, but by the end of the game, the Rams scored on nearly 50% of their attempts.

The Fordham women’s basketball team played an exhausting game against the Loyola University (LU) Ramblers on Feb. 4. Despite almost tiring out in the second half, the Rams moved to third place in the Atlantic 10 (A10) with their 80-64 victory over the Ramblers. It was a historic night for the Rams as they marked their ninth 80-point game of the year, tying the single season record from the 1978-79 team. The game was also special for other reasons, as Feb. 4 was the first home game since National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Feb. 1.
