"Migrant Crisis: Chicago Struggles to House Hundreds at O'Hare Airport"

TL;DR Summary
Hundreds of migrants, including babies and the elderly, have been living in a terminal at Chicago's O'Hare Airport for weeks as the city struggles to accommodate the influx of asylum seekers. The migrants sleep on cardboard pads, share public bathrooms, and are monitored by a private company. Concerns have been raised about safety and public health, as the makeshift shelter lacks proper medical care and limited first aid. Chicago is slowly building capacity to house asylum seekers, but the system still heavily relies on volunteers. Other cities have rejected the idea of using airports as shelters, citing security and infrastructure concerns.
