The first round of Chicago migrant shelter evictions will begin on Sunday starting with a few dozen residents.
Due to the ongoing measles outbreak, there were questions as to whether or not the city would go through with evictions. Measles cases continue to grow with 10 out of 12 cases linked to the Pilsen migrant shelter.The mayor's 60-day shelter stay limit was announced last fall but was extended several times over the winter. Migrants who qualify for exemptions, including pregnant women and families with children, will receive a 30-day extension.
Mayor Brandon Johnson explained where individuals should report if they don't have their next steps in place."In the event that they have not secured or started the process of securing permanent living corridors, then there's an opportunity for them to return to the beginning process of seeking temporary shelter," Johnson said. City officials say that migrants are required to have the MMR vaccine.
