Chicago Will Begin Evicting Over 5,600 Illegal Migrants from Shelters on Saturday
Chicago is set to begin evicting over 5,600 illegal migrants from city-run shelters on Saturday.
The evictions come as Mayor Brandon Johnson’s controversial 60-day limit is set to kick in, even though Chicago has been a “Sanctuary City” for nearly 40 years.
Fox News reports, “The policy, which has drawn sharp criticism from progressive lawmakers, has already been delayed several times since November due to the cold weather, but Johnson said Friday that 35 migrants will be told to leave on Saturday with around 5,600 expected to be booted out on a staggered basis over the coming weeks.”
There are currently about 11,200 migrants being housed by the city at taxpayers’ expense.
There has also been an outbreak of measles at one of the shelters.
