On Thursday, Vinicius Funes, a 26-year-old migrant from Honduras, went in search of a bed. He had spent two nights waiting in a chair at New York City’s official arrival center for migrants at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. But it turned out to be a “reticketing” office, where the city buys migrants a one-way passage out of town. There were no beds there either, though, just a big waiting room. Mr. Funes spent the night on the floor.
