“The police came here early this morning, woke us up and told us we can't stay here,” Haitian immigrant Whistler Sol told NBC10.

According to the outlet, charities blame the situation on a lack of space in shelters and new rules that came into effect in Massachusetts at the beginning of August.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey introduced measures earlier this month aimed at reducing the number of migrants relying on shelters, according to NBC10.

The governor's office said the move has allowed 3,800 families to get work permits and hundreds to move out of shelters, NBC10 reported.

But the governor's plan also excluded 200 households deemed lower priority, the outlet reported.

“There's no place for us. Don't do that. Don't do that to me. It's a lack of respect,” Eisner Darville, another immigrant from Haiti, told NBC10.

“The state of Massachusetts has an emergency fund for emergencies, and I don't know what else they consider an emergency, but to me this seems like an emergency,” Annie Gonzalez with BIJAN told NBC10.

“No baby should have to sleep on the ground in America,” said Fahema Rahman, an immigrant who volunteered to donate food to the family. “The smartest people in the country are here, and they can solve any problem.”

“It is appalling that families were sleeping outdoors last night,” the governor's office said in a statement. “We have asked the nonprofit organizations that are assisting them to bring them to our Family Welcome Center and refer them to temporary respite centers.”
