Chicago Community Fights Against Migrant Shelter Amidst Border Crisis
Recently, the city of Chicago has been facing backlash after designating a former closed high school in the south side neighborhood to be used as a shelter for migrants. The decision by Mayor Lori Lightfoot has sparked outrage within the community and has resulted in co-plaintiffs, a community member and a military veteran, filing a lawsuit against the city. They believe that legal action is their only recourse, as historically, black communities have been expected to protest without any real impact on decision-making processes.
