"Chicago Mayor Accused of Covering Up Tuberculosis Outbreak in Migrant Shelters"

Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez accuses Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration of covering up a public health crisis in city-run migrant shelters, alleging the existence of measles and tuberculosis cases that have been concealed for months. Despite city health officials confirming "a small number" of tuberculosis cases, specific details and shelter locations have not been disclosed. Lopez claims that the city has downplayed the severity of the situation and delayed public disclosure, while also expressing concerns about the potential for increased illness cases as the city consolidates shelters. The issue has escalated since nearly 2,000 migrants were sent to local police precincts due to health ailments, prompting a CDC investigation into the measles outbreak.
