"Challenges Mount as Chicago Grapples with Migrant Influx and Shelter Shortages"
TL;DR Summary
Hundreds of migrants in Chicago, many from Venezuela, are living in buses at the city's "landing zone" without access to showers, adequate nutrition, or proper shelter. With over 30,000 asylum-seekers arriving in the city, volunteers and experts are questioning the humane conditions of the buses and urging the city to find more dignified living spaces. The state has announced plans to set up an intake center with heated tents, but concerns about the well-being of the migrants persist, especially following the recent death of a 5-year-old migrant boy.
