MacBook migration assistant stuck at about 1 minute remaining

I was attempting to transfer data from the 2017 iMac to the newly released MacBook 15 i9 2019. I tried migration assistant again several times, and now, it is stuck like this for several minutes. What should I do?

Wi-Fi is not reliable when using Migration, it is very slow and sometimes does not complete. The fastest and most reliable method is to transfer from a Time Machine backup connected directly to the new Mac. The second best is via Ethernet.
