TL;DR Summary

About 200 migrants have moved into a temporary shelter at a former CVS in Little Village, Chicago. The shelter, which was initially scheduled to open in mid-December, is now operational and is accommodating families and individuals, many with infants. State officials and volunteers are working to provide humanitarian services, including classes and trauma-based education, to support the migrants. However, volunteers at the landing zone for new arrivals express concerns about the conditions and the level of assistance being provided, while Gov. JB Pritzker emphasizes the state's efforts to manage the ongoing crisis and the need for more federal aid.
