More migrants in Chicago granted work permits despite complex legal process – CBS2 (Chicago)

Of the 2,722 migrants who submitted applications through the city's partnership with The Resurrection Project, about 1,800 have been approved, and 1,011 have their documents in hand, per data from the nonprofit. That represents a significant increase from Dec. 28, when only 279 received social security cards and 284 received work permits. Still, only about 13% of migrants in the city's shelters are eligible and have been approved.
