A police source said there are nearly 800 migrants at police stations across the city.
Hundreds of migrants who recently arrived in Chicago might soon have a new temporary place to stay -- Wright College on the city's Northwest Side. Sposato said come June 1, up to 400 migrants will be temporarily relocated to Wright College. A police source said there were nearly 800 migrants at police stations across the city. Sposato said he has been on the phone with the Office of Emergency Management and communications numerous times about moving asylum seekers into the community.
Last week Mayor Brandon Johnson first went to the Near West 12th District police station where asylum seekers have been sleeping on the floor for days. He then headed to Piotrowski Park in Little Village, a migrant respite center that has been filled or almost filled to capacity since opening Saturday.
"It is clear that police stations and respite centers, that's not the goal," he said."And so we have to make sure the work that is being done here is done with the true spirit of Chicago."
