Chicago slowly starts evicting migrants from shelters – Chicago Sun-Times

Of the nearly three dozen migrants expected to be evicted from shelters Sunday as the city begins enforcing Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration’s 60-day shelter stay rule, just three were removed. The remaining 31 migrants were given extensions; 27 because they are still in the process of applying for public benefits and four due to pregnancy or disability. Fewer than 11,000 migrants remain in shelters, according to the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, and around 2,000 are expected to have to exit by the end of April.

Three dozen evictions? Not worthy of the headline. What’s happening is merely a symbolic eviction of a handful of handpicked worthy migrants.
