Chicago begins evicting migrants from shelters as residents decry a 'lack of respect'

Chicago has begun evicting some migrants from its shelters, a controversial policy that had been delayed for months but appeared haphazard, a migrant told NBC News on Monday.

Migrants who have been evicted, as well as those who face a rapidly approaching deadline, said there has been widespread confusion about the process and frustration with being forced to leave while they still lack the resources to find their own places to stay.

In the first two days of enforcement, fewer than 10 migrants have been evicted from their shelters, according to the city. Five migrants were forced to leave Monday because of the policy, a city spokesperson said, while three were evicted Sunday.

Franklin Romero, 29, a Venezuelan migrant, said someone told him at the Woodlawn shelter just one day before that he had to leave by 2 p.m. Monday.

“It was unbelievable. We have no stability,” said Romero, who was wearing a silver coat and black pants after he was forced out on a day with freezing temperatures and snow flurries.

Romero said he tried to explain that he had to work Monday and could not leave the shelter before 2 p.m. with all of his belongings. He also said another person at the shelter told him that he actually needed to leave by 12:30 p.m.

He felt disrespected by being rushed to leave the place he called home for months.

It was clear that I needed to leave, and I respected that, but the treatment, it was a lack of respect,” he said.

The city said Monday that there were 11,253 migrants in 23 city- and state-run shelters and that it has received about 37,308 new arrivals since 2022, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending people to cities across the country.

The city has sought to limit shelter stays to 60 days for the more than 10,000 migrants, requiring them to find housing or apply for other shelter at the city’s “landing zone” for new arrivals after their exit dates arrive. The evictions also come amid a measles outbreak at one of the shelters.

Thousands of migrants, including families with children, have been given extensions.

On Friday, the city said that nearly three dozen people would be evicted from their shelters Sunday, but by the evening it said 31 migrants received extensions because of the exemptions, which include enrollment in public benefits, pregnancy or infant care, medical care, medical isolation and quarantine, as well as having families with children under 18.

What a disaster.

How much will crimes will increase and more resources taking away from homeless because they won't close the borders.

Keep them busses rolling.

Illegal aliens do not deserve any respect when their first act of entering the host country was breaking the law.

 

[The XL]

They need to go home. The fact that they're taking resources from citizens on the taxpayer dime is disgusting. And of course a ton of them are going to pop out babies on the taxpayer dime as well.

 

[Dalarna3]

Big blue cities are just going to drop them off in weaker, red suburbs.

All you have to do is remove any incentives they have for being here. But people, particularly on the left, can't tolerate the initial harm that would inevitably cause. And we can't deny them at the border either. So no solution is allowed.

Wow, this entitled Chicago mayor is pulling the classic landlord move. Evict people who aren’t paying you cash in hand.

Fuck this capitalist shit city

Honestly that's got nothing to do with it. The migrant crisis isn't a crisis. It's a plan in action.

A slave class is being brought in. What the plan is for the people in between the slave class and the government/corporate overlord class hasn't been revealed yet.

I don't imagine it will be good.

Pretty easy, consolidated those in between with the slave class. The outliers will be killed by people who in any other time would be in jail and/or migrants

They only have a fraction of what we get in Texas and they are already moaning.

Thats the part of the article that really burned my ass. OK, good. I don't respect you. I never agreed for our country to be your sugar daddy. Get out there, find a job and contribute something. Public support on the tax payer dime should have some sort of time limit.

Well in Chicago, they'll probably only be victims of crime. You have to consider if they're stuck living poor neighborhoods on the West and South Sides, they're aren't exactly going to get a warm welcome from the gangs that already run those streets. Their only chance is the suburbs but there's like a 10 year waiting list for subsidized housing in Cook County as a whole.

This is why many of the migrants are going back to their home countries, because they're finding out the hard way they're not getting the red carpet treatment. Some will stay and do their best to assimilate, especially if they have a community to lean on. But their chances aren't good.
