Goodman’s footage, which quickly went viral, shows military personnel standing guard outside the hotel. The journalist, clearly puzzled by the sight, can be heard questioning the soldiers about their presence. “Is the army turning this thing into a migrant shelter? Why are you guys here? It’s a hotel. Why is the army at this hotel?” Goodman asked. One soldier, seemingly unfazed, responded, “We’re here at the request of the State of New York.”
This brief exchange has fueled speculation and concern among the public, particularly among those who see this as an unusual and alarming development. The idea of military personnel being deployed to guard a civilian hotel has set off alarm bells for many, leading to a flurry of questions about the true nature of the government’s involvement in the migrant crisis.
Undeterred by attempts to stop him from recording, Goodman continued to voice his concerns, both on the scene and later through his platform. “State of New York has put the army into hotels? What the hell is that about? This is a public hotel, right? What is the Army doing in this hotel? Have you guys taken over this hotel? What is it. What the hell on army doing taking over civilian hotels in the middle of New York City?” he asked, echoing the sentiments of many who are confused and worried about this situation.

As the situation unfolded, one of the hotel staff members confronted Goodman, insisting that he stop recording. However, Goodman was undeterred and continued to document what he saw, later expressing his concerns to his audience. “I can’t record. So this is what I’m talking about, people. Do you think those guys are there to help you or me? What is going on?” Goodman asked rhetorically, clearly troubled by what he had witnessed.

Interestingly, Goodman later reported that the military personnel had vacated the Wolcott Hotel shortly after his footage gained traction online. This sudden departure has only added to the mystery surrounding their presence, leaving many to wonder whether public scrutiny played a role in their removal.
The Gateway Pundit has reached out to the management of the Wolcott Hotel and the office of Governor Kathy Hochul for comment on the situation. As of the time of publication, no official response has been received. The lack of transparency has done little to ease the concerns of those who see this as a troubling precedent for the involvement of military forces in civilian matters.
This development at the Wolcott Hotel is just the latest chapter in the ongoing debate over how to handle the influx of migrants into New York City. As the situation continues to evolve, many are left questioning the implications of military involvement in what is traditionally a civilian issue. The full story behind this deployment remains unclear, but it is undoubtedly a situation that warrants close attention in the days and weeks to come.
