FOP President John Catanzara said bed bugs have been “a consistent issue," and that there has been a lice problem at the Near West District and cases of chicken pox at the Shakespeare District.

Public health menace. I guess this is the outcome of being a welcoming city. All of these illegal aliens should be sent to City Hall, especially the 4th floor.
Logan Square too
Everyone who voted for Biden should be REQUIRED to take in at least one illegal alien – after all, they helped create this chaos.
