Worried migrants flee NYC shelters as Trump ICE raids loom: ‘It is better to leave before’

They’re getting out of Dodge.

Migrants shacked up at Big Apple shelters are jittery over promised ICE raids on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration Monday — and many are ditching their tax-funded digs to duck deportation.

“It is better to leave before,” Venezuelan migrant Kervin Nava, 31, said outside a Long Island City shelter Sunday. “I am making arrangements, somewhere else.”

One Manhattan migrant who asked to be identified only as Rafael said the fear has gripped his shelter.

“It’s in God’s hands, but there are people who have started leaving the hotels because they’re scared,” he told The Post. “When ICE came a few weeks ago they had an arrest warrant for someone who lived here.

“Nothing they could do.”

Other migrants said they were just angry at their suddenly dim prospects.

Trump has long promised mass deportations of illegal immigrants in the US, and has designated Tom Homan, his new tough-as-nails border czar, to start making it happen as soon as he’s in office.

Are they violent offenders? That’s what Homan is starting on. Give it a couple years and we might get to you other freeloaders.

For the 50th time…They aren’t migrants. They’re illegal invaders.

Soon, they will have to self deport as the government checks and vouchers will dry up. Then you go after companies and people who hire them.

We’ll drop a dime on them in a heartbeat.
