The Amundsen Park Fieldhouse is slated to eventually take in incoming migrants, but residents protested, and the plan is now in limbo.
"You are asking us as taxpayers, to step aside and allow this to happen. We say, 'No.' We see the tricks that are being played. We see that you've taken our programs out of our park. We see that you've reassigned the staff members here, because in your mind, you think we're going to grow tired, that we are going to go away," said resident Cata Truss. "That's not going to happen, mayor. We are going to stay here, and we are going to fight.
"We can't use the bathrooms at all. They are putting port-a-pottys. We got 200 people, 155 kids and parents. We have over 200 people here. How are they going to use two port-a-pottys? That is horrible," said Gerald Harris, who runs the Windy City Dolphins Youth Football Team.The group told ABC7 they have filed an injunction and will go before a judge for a hearing on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. to talk about the future of their park and fieldhouse.
