"Chicago Mayor and Governor Take Action on Migrant Shelter Crisis Amid Winter Storm"
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson addresses the city's plans to shelter asylum seekers amid a winter storm, as new arrivals face dangerously cold temperatures with inadequate clothing. The South Loop "landing zone" has become a makeshift shelter for some migrants, with less than 150 people living on CTA warming buses. Governor JB Pritzker has appealed to Texas Governor Greg Abbott to reconsider sending buses and planes full of migrants in such harsh weather. The city's 60-day migrant shelter eviction policy has been put on hold due to the extreme weather conditions, and the mayor is considering discussing temporary housing options with surrounding suburbs.
