Evanston City Council split on migrant housing shelter plan – Evanston Roundtable

Since August 2022, the ongoing crisis with new arrivals has been “a really deranged politically motivated effort on the part of Republicans, especially the Republican governor of Texas, to use human beings in an effort to affect election outcomes,” said Mayor Daniel Biss. “And the posture that I’ve represented is that this is a moral crisis, that we as a city have a responsibility to figure out if we can help, and try to do what we could to be part of the solution.”
