Residents say they feel that the city is prioritizing asylum seekers over their underserved communities.
In boisterous community meetings across the long-marginalized south and west sides of Chicago, residents have been angrily venting over plans to house migrants in their neighborhoods.
"We have crime that's out of control. We have a high unemployment rate. We have all these different things that I believe should be addressed but isn't. And now you're going to pile in a different group of people into our community. It's unjust," said Dunn. As winter nears, the city has signed a $29 million contract to build heated tent camps for the migrants.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson acknowledges the frustration of Chicagoans but urges residents to show solidarity.
