Chicago's Migrant Crisis: Community Takes Action Amid City's Inaction.

Migrants seeking temporary shelter in Chicago are being housed at police stations due to overcrowding in the city's shelters. Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez has advocated for temporary shelters in his ward since fall, but city officials have repeatedly brushed him off. The city is trying to create respite centers and temporary shelters for migrants, but it can be challenging to find appropriate housing. Sigcho-Lopez and his staff moved migrants from an overcrowded police station to a temporary shelter being prepared inside an empty building on Racine Avenue with the help of local residents.
