Chicago residents divided over plans to house migrants in local facilities.

Chicago residents expressed their outrage at local leadership's plans to house illegal immigrants in a closed high school in the South Shore neighborhood. The proposal to house hundreds of migrants in an already struggling area was met with anger and concern for safety. Residents demanded to be consulted before any decisions were made and questioned where the funding for the facility was coming from. Many also expressed frustration that police would be stationed to oversee the migrants 24/7, while local safety concerns had been ignored.
