"Chicago's Controversial Migrant Shelter Evictions Spark Outcry and Confusion"

Chicago has begun evicting migrants from its shelters, causing widespread confusion and frustration among those affected. The city has sought to limit shelter stays to 60 days for the more than 10,000 migrants, requiring them to find housing or apply for other shelter at the city’s “landing zone” for new arrivals after their exit dates arrive. The evictions come amid a measles outbreak at one of the shelters, and the policy has faced backlash from advocates and some elected officials. Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration has defended the policy as necessary to optimize resources and advance a pathway to stability and self-sufficiency for migrants.
