"Community Divided: Brighton Park Tent Camp Sparks Controversy as City Officials Plan to House 2,000 Migrants"

Residents of Brighton Park in Chicago clashed with city officials during a community meeting over plans to house up to 2,000 migrants in a tent encampment. Some neighbors expressed opposition to the proposal, shouting slogans like "Send them back" and "We don't want Venezuelans." The city defended the plan as a necessary response to the influx of asylum seekers overwhelming the shelter system. The proposed site is currently being assessed for suitability, and if approved, it would take several days to set up the camp. The city has faced criticism for lack of transparency and not involving local officials in the decision-making process.
