An ex-employee of the Row Hotel in New York has exposed the appalling state of the hotel rooms occupied by newly arrived migrants in the city all at city expense

Carlos Arellano described the establishment as chaotic, with rampant drug use, sexual activity, and violence, and he believes it should be closed down

Hotel's 1,300 rooms spanning 28 floors have been allocated almost entirely to accommodate migrants, with the city paying a nightly rate of $500 for their stay
