"Chicago Evicts Migrants from Shelters Amid Resource Strain"
TL;DR
Only three out of 34 scheduled evictions of asylum seekers from city-run shelters in Chicago actually occurred, with exceptions made for families with children, those under quarantine, and pregnant or ill migrants. Mayor Brandon Johnson cited limited resources as the reason for the evictions, while some city officials expressed dissatisfaction, calling for expedited work permits for migrants and emphasizing the historical contributions of migrants to the city.
