Migrants dropped at Elgin Metra stations en route to Chicago haven’t posed a problem for city, mayor says – Elgin Courier-News*

“We are not a sanctuary city,” Mayor Dave Kaptain said, and Elgin hasn’t received federal funding to assist migrants. Officials for Gov. JB Pritzker have talked about Elgin being a possible migrant housing site, but the city doesn’t have the means to accommodate them, he said. “We don’t have enough hotel space. It would be too difficult,” he said. “We are just a pass-through community, and I want to make that as easy as possible.”
