TL;DR Summary

Asylum-seekers in Chicago are sleeping on the floor of police stations due to a lack of space in city-run shelters. Despite the inhumane living conditions, many migrants prefer the police stations as they receive better treatment and have established routines. The city is working to identify more spaces to convert into temporary shelters and assist individuals and families in finding more permanent housing opportunities. Volunteers are bringing food and resources to the migrants, but many are comfortable where they are and have heard that conditions at other shelters are worse.
