Migrants pitch their tents outside the 2nd District Chicago Police station at on Wentworth Avenue on Oct. 17, 2023, in Chicago.The city estimates that costs associated with migrants since August 2022 could reach above $360 million by the end of 2023. Faith-based groups are pooling their resources. But no volunteers are currently allowed inside city-run shelters, and questions remain about what will happen as winter approaches and thousands of migrants with no place to go are now sleeping outside.

Most migrants arriving in Chicago are asylum-seekers, or people in search of protection due to dangers in their home country.
