TL;DR

About 200 migrants have moved into a temporary shelter at a former CVS in Little Village, Chicago. The shelter, which was initially scheduled to open in mid-December, is now operational and is accommodating families and individuals, many with infants. State officials and volunteers are working to provide humanitarian services, including classes and trauma-based education, to support the migrants.

JB Pritzker emphasizes the state's efforts to manage the ongoing crisis and the need for more federal aid.
