Chicago Mayor's Migrant Plan Halted Over Soil Contamination, Lawmakers Seek Answers

Lawmakers in Chicago are demanding answers from the Mayor's office regarding the failed Brighton Park migrant camp, which was deemed unsuitable due to environmental concerns. A report revealed elevated levels of mercury, lead, and arsenic at the site. Several aldermen have called for the resignation of the leaders responsible for the project. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker stated that the state will not proceed with the camp and discussions are ongoing to determine how to address the situation and support the migrants.
