Migrant families face eviction in Chicago as city moves forward with removing them

Published June 13, 2024 3:43pm ET

Chicago began removing migrant families from city shelters to ease pressure on overrun city resources Monday.

In March, the city began evicting single men and some single women from city shelters, but this week is the first time entire families have been evicted. When that happens, they are expected to go to Chicago’s “landing zone,” where they can sleep on city buses while applying to reenter the city’s migrant system.
