Investigation into Death of Migrant Child Raises Concerns over Chicago Shelter Conditions

Authorities are investigating the death of a 5-year-old migrant child, Jean Carlos Martinez Rivero, who was staying at a migrant shelter in Chicago. The cause of death has not yet been determined. Volunteers have raised concerns about overcrowding, lack of medical care, and inadequate conditions at the shelters. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for sending thousands of migrants to the city, stating that they arrive sick and traumatized. The influx of migrant children at the U.S. southern border has raised concerns about the capacity of government agencies to care for them.
