City Councilman Joe Borelli, who represents the affected district, has blamed the crime surge on the presence of the migrant shelters, which house hundreds of asylum seekers.
"The crime rate around the shelters has exploded," Borelli told Fox News. "We're seeing more violence, more robberies, and more assaults."

The presence of the migrant shelters has also raised concerns about overcrowding and a strain on local resources.
The shelters are often at capacity, leaving many migrants sleeping on the streets or in public spaces.
The influx of people has also put pressure on city services, such as healthcare and education.
Stoughton, Massachusetts, is another community that has experienced a similar situation.
Over 200 migrant families have moved into the town, leading to an increase in crime and financial strain.
The school district has been forced to cut bus service for some students due to the budget constraints caused by the influx of migrants.
Parents and residents have expressed their frustration and concern over the impact of the migrant shelters on their community.
The arrival of migrants has become a polarizing issue, with some communities welcoming the newcomers and others resisting their presence.
As the number of migrants continues to rise, cities and towns across the country are grappling with how to address the challenges and opportunities they bring.
