Controversial Brighton Park migrant camp nears completion amidst resistance

The construction of a migrant camp in Brighton Park, Chicago, is nearing completion despite protests from the local community. The mayor's office released an 800-page environmental report on the project, which highlighted the need for remediation due to mercury-contaminated soil and the presence of a human carcinogen. The report has raised concerns about potential lawsuits and the safety of migrants in the future. The city claims that the site is safe for temporary residential use, with measures such as the placement of a layer of crushed clean stone to address remaining contamination.
