Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson will no longer visit the southern border despite announcing the plan two weeks ago, citing the numerous buses of immigrants arriving in the Windy City.
“With the weather growing colder and hundreds of migrants arriving each day, it is more important than ever that every stakeholder at the state, federal and local level work diligently to address this challenge, while continuing to meet the needs of Chicago and Illinois residents,” the statement from the mayor’s office read.
Over 3,500 immigrants are now living at police stations and O'Hare International Airport, according to Alderman Julia Ramirez of Chicago's 12th Ward. Ahead of winter, Johnson's administration is working to build more permanent shelters, which he said on Oct. 4 go up"every week" through the city's $30 million contract with GardaWorld Federal Services.
