Chicago residents sue to prevent migrant shelter in South Shore neighborhood.

Residents of Chicago's South Shore neighborhood are protesting against a plan to house illegal immigrants in an abandoned high school, citing concerns about safety and the impact on the already struggling Black community. The plan could potentially house hundreds of migrants, and residents fear that they lack long-term supervision and housing. Outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has declared a state of emergency as the city continues to struggle with the migrant crisis. The decision to potentially house migrants at the closed school building impacts "the value of our land, safety, and peace," according to community advocate Natasha Dunn.
