City’s largest migrant shelter, operating steps from the Mag Mile, should be closed, alderman says – CWB Chicago

“This site is not suitable for its current use as a migrant shelter,” Ald. Brian Hopkins said. “Its location in the Central Business District is inappropriate. It is one block away from the vital economic engine that is Michigan Avenue and within feet of multiple downtown hotels that we need to keep filled with visitors to our city.” Housing 1,530 migrants as of September 22, the Inn of Chicago site at 162 East Ohio is the single largest migrant shelter in the city.

Racism at work here.
If the migrants were from Israel would the reaction be the same?
If the migrants were from Ukraine would the reaction be the same?
