A coalition of 21 alderpersons, seven other elected city officials, and representatives from 48 community organizations is asking the mayor to address migrant stays on a case-by-case basis.
CHICAGO -- A coalition of City Council members, community groups, and others gathered at City Hall ahead of Wednesday's City Council meeting, to urge Mayor Brandon Johnson to put an immediate end to the city's policy of evicting some migrants from city shelters, which went into effect on Sunday after multiple delays.Three migrants were evicted from city shelters on Sunday, and five more have been removed since then under the city's 60-day shelter limit policy.
No one in need of shelter, whether they are newly arrived or whether they were born and raised here, should ever face the fear and instability of being evicted from a city shelter, knowing they have nowhere else to go,' said Ald. Andre Vasquez , Johnson's hand-picked chair of the City Council Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights.Vasquez led the effort to send the mayor a letter demanding an end to the eviction policy.
