"Chicago to Proceed with Migrant Shelter Evictions Amid Measles Outbreak"

Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration will proceed with evicting migrants from Chicago shelters after 60 days, but exemptions will be granted for families with children and those affected by a measles outbreak. Migrants will now be required to be vaccinated for measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox to stay in shelters. Despite the exemptions, 35 people will still have to leave three shelters on Sunday, and a total of 2,026 will be required to leave by the end of April. The eviction policy has faced criticism from City Council members and community organizations, who argue that it exacerbates challenges and displaces migrants. The city is also dealing with a measles outbreak in a Pilsen migrant shelter, prompting efforts to vaccinate residents and quarantine vulnerable individuals.
