TL;DR

Migrants in Chicago are battling freezing conditions as the city works to clear police stations and find housing for them. Despite efforts to move migrants out of the stations, there are still nearly 1,100 individuals remaining. The Harrison District, one of the few stations still housing migrants, has reported difficult conditions including freezing water, ice-covered tents, and limited access to the station. The city has offered to take migrants to warming centers during the day, but many are hesitant to leave for fear of missing an opportunity to be moved to a shelter. It remains unclear if officials will take action to address the situation.
