Migrants in Chicago

The Illinois state government says they will be paying to temporarily house migrants at hotels as the Chicago area sees a recent increase in asylum seekers.

The holiday season looks different this year for most Central and South American asylum seekers in Chicago.

A migrant has died from his injuries after being shot in front of the facility in Gage Park, according to city officials.

As city officials turn up the heat and enforce new rules for buses coming in from the southern border, an increase in migrants are being dropped off in the suburbs.

Migrants have been left stranded at gas stations and highways in the Chicago suburbs in response to the city of Chicago's announcement of harsher penalties for bus drivers who aren't following guideliines.

Officials for the Chicago suburb of Aurora says several buses full of migrants have arrived in their city after Chicago launched their ordinance against unauthorized drop offs. Now, the suburban city council is considering a similar solution.

Cities in suburban Chicago are weighing their options after several buses of migrants have been sent to their area from Texas.

Migrant buses arriving from Texas are diverting to suburban areas in response to a recent crackdown by the City of Chicago.

As more and more migrants are being buses and now flown into Chicago and other cities from Texas, Illinois leaders and lawmakers are demanding more help from the federal government.

Texas officials chartered a private plane to fly migrants to Chicago on Tuesday night, according to Mayor Brandon Johnson's office.
