Military personnel were reportedly deployed to guard the Wolcott Hotel in Manhattan at the request of state officials.
On Tuesday, citizen journalist Jason Goodman, founder of Crowdsource the Truth, captured footage of military stationed outside The Wolcott Hotel.
The Wolcott Hotel, located on West 31st Street in New York City, has recently been converted into a mega-shelter for migrants.
This transformation was confirmed by a report from the New York Post, which revealed that the hotel, once a bustling hub for tourists, has indefinitely closed its doors to regular guests back in 2023 due to the ongoing migrant crisis and concerns about the COVID-19 Delta variant.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that the Wolcott Hotel will be closed to transient hotel guests indefinitely,” the Wolcott Hotel website said.
“With the current Delta variant and uncertainty when travel will return, I feel this is the best course of action for the hotel and her employees for the near future.”
Goodman captured footage showing uniformed military personnel stationed outside the hotel.
In the video, he can be heard questioning the presence of the military at a civilian hotel, asking, “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?”
One of the soldiers responded bluntly, stating, “We’re here at the request of the State of New York.”
This revelation set off alarm bells for Goodman and many of his followers.
He continued to press the issue, asking, “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?”
One of the hotel staff confronted the journalist, insisting that he stop recording. Undeterred, Crowdsource the Truth voiced his concerns directly to his audience, questioning the motives behind the military’s presence.
“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 went back to the hotel and observed that U.S. military personnel had vacated the Wolcott Hotel shortly after the incident went viral.
Do people find it odd that one day after @LibertyLockPod and @LauraLoomer made my video at the Walcott Hotel go viral the U.S. Military and Frank Califano’s JFC Security have vacated the building? https://t.co/h0dkLb34fc

Now this administration is having our military guard illegals. This is bullshit. I am wondering what the cleaning staff, cooking staff, etc. at this hotel is thinking? Hell, they are probably all illegals anyway.
Welcome to the socialist state of New York, I am sure that before long that before long they will have armed troops patrolling the streets to keep the people that disagree with the socialist policies in line or be arrested and placed in reeducation camps, wake up people lock and load!!!
They are there ahead of Trumps’ sentencing – so when they take him into custody and US Citizens go crazy – 1000x that of the US Capitol – our Communistic Govt will be ready to arrest, detain and prosecute any & all Trump supporters and voters. They are there to INTIMIDATE Trump Electors – – They ARE Election Interference. Juan Marchan’s case needs to be tossed & scrapped permanently by the Supreme Court ASAP, otherwise the Democrats are going to lock him up and remove his name from the ballots. I don’t trust them at all.
Then you are considered
Traitors.
To hell with them all!
Place the military on our borders seal it up tight!
All captured illegal immigrants will be deported out of the United States by military flights, to who cares where as long as they are out of country!
Stopping all the incentives to their migration to our nation at taxpayer expenses, that should instead be used to helping our Veterans instead, for the over 41,000 homeless veterans nationwide over the illegals any day of the week!
