"Chicago Implements Migrant Shelter Evictions Amid Measles Outbreak"

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson plans to start evicting illegal migrants from the city’s shelter system, with 35 migrants set to leave on Saturday and around 5,600 expected to be evicted on a staggered basis over the coming weeks. Exemptions are being made for those with medical conditions, securing housing, experiencing domestic violence, or pregnant, as well as for those affected by a measles outbreak. The evicted migrants will be directed to a designated "landing zone" to reapply for a bed. The policy has drawn criticism from progressive lawmakers, with some urging the mayor not to proceed, while Johnson has called for federal support and criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for busing migrants to the sanctuary city.
