5 sources for · 0 against

Black holes can indeed move, as evidenced by observations of proper motion in objects like Sagittarius A* and gravitational recoil kicks imparted during binary mergers.

The Proper Motion of Sagittarius A*. III. The Case for a Supermassive Black Hole
2020 · cited by 146
Measures the proper motion of Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole, across the sky.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide robust observational and theoretical evidence demonstrating that black holes exhibit proper motion and acquire recoil velocities (kicks) from phenomena such as gravitational wave emission during mergers. Thus, the claim that black holes move is fully supported.
