"Chicago Implements 60-Day Shelter Eviction Policy for Migrants, Mayor Announces Asylum Seeker Exemptions"

Chicago will begin evicting thousands of migrants from city and state-operated shelters, with 2,026 people set to be evicted by the end of April. The move has been met with outrage and confusion, as the city has faced an influx of over 37,100 new migrants since 2022. Mayor Brandon Johnson's office announced that some migrants will qualify for exemptions, including families with children, those securing housing, and individuals with medical issues. However, advocates and volunteers assisting the migrants criticize the lack of transparency and the chaotic eviction process. The city has also been dealing with a recent measles outbreak in one of its migrant shelters, prompting new vaccination requirements for residents.
