Hundreds of migrants living in Chicago’s shelters could be evicted in the coming months as the mayor finally cuts back on the city’s overburdened shelters.
Starting Tuesday, only migrants who have been in the city for 30 days or less will be eligible for a bed in one of the 13 migrant shelters in Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson‘s office said.
Migrants already in the system will also be barred from reapplying to a shelter when they hit the city’s 60-day stay limit, with officials only making exceptions for pregnant women and those suffering from an illness or disability.
The policy change was made over the new unified shelter system set to take effect at the start of 2025, which will combine the city’s migrant shelters and homeless shelters.
As of Monday, there are nearly 5,000 migrants living in Chicago shelters, with at least 1,200 to face eviction come January when the new system is fully implemented, CBS News reported.
More than 2,700 migrants have already been booted from shelters since Chicago began enforcing a 60-day limit in March, but about 75% of them have re-entered the facilities having nowhere else to stay, according to the city’s housing data.
Johnson blamed the current situation on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who began sending buses and planes full of migrants to so-called sanctuary cities over the past two years.
While the Windy City has tried to make due, Johnson said a lack of an appropriate budget and the need to prioritize the city’s native homeless population has forced his administration’s hand.
“Could this lead to people on the street? Look, I’ll be remiss if I did not acknowledge the financial straits that we are experiencing right now and the impact that that’s going to have on this mission,” Johnson said...

Well, I’ll be darned! That doesn’t sound too welcoming to me!
Sterilize them if they’re going to stay.
Maybe if they’re being deported too.
They’ll need to go to some warmer states, like in the southern part of the US.
Sorta sounds raciss, if you ask me.....
I’d rather send them to Commiefornia, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Island.
I’d say both.
So would I, but if they’re being kicked out at the start of the cold season, they’ll use this opportunity to force them to someplace warmer (also as punishment to TX and FL for rerouting some of the illegals there in the first place).
Lots of room and liberals in Marin and Sonoma counties.
Wait til Rev. Al finds out!
So Cal is a homeless persons hot ticket
Maybe we’ll get black gangs vs. Venezuelan gangs. Get the popcorn.
Their votes are secured so they are going to be kicked to the curb.
Life is tough..
Just in time for Election Day.
They need to migrant their azzes back home and work out their problems there. We’ve got all the problems we need. We don’t need these jackass’ crap.
I say send them to all the rich gated communities in the blue cities and states since they claim to love them so much.
Well, that won’t be a mess, will it? These democrats don’t seem to understand cause and effect at all.
Why can’t he just order all the public employees to take two in to their homes to care for and feed?
He blames Texas, yet it is Biden, Harris and Mayorkus who let them in.
