CHICAGO — The city is investigating after police were called Thursday night on volunteers serving food to asylum-seekers outside a temporary shelter at the YMCA in West Ridge.
The three volunteers said the shelter’s city-contracted security guards threatened and harassed them and told them to leave the premises before calling police as the volunteers passed out food to the migrants, who told them they’d only been served “bread and apples” inside the shelter.
“They have no warm clothing. People were shivering. They were ravenous,” said Laurie Hasbrook, one of the volunteers.
