Residents Clash Over Proposed Migrant Camp in Chicago Neighborhood
A meeting in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood turned contentious as residents protested against a planned migrant camp that could accommodate over 2,000 migrants. City officials confirmed their intention to construct a temporary shelter on a vacant lot, citing the need to provide an alternative to migrants sleeping outdoors or in police district stations during the approaching winter. Some residents expressed concerns about safety and lack of consultation, while others called for better housing for migrants. The mayor's office did not respond to requests for comment.
