Migrant camps take over Chicago police precincts as city declares state of emergency
Shocking footage from Chicago shows desperate people in makeshift migrant camps in police precincts. Videographer Rebecca Brannon has filmed beds on the floor of precincts in the city - which has declared a state of emergency - with young children running around nearby. She said she found the camps at eight different police stations she visited. As a result of the problem, the city has looked to use different sites to house people, including Wright College in the Northwest of Chicago. Up to 400 migrants could be relocated there from June 1 and 38th Ward Alderman Nick Sposato told ABC the move would be a "win-win." He said: "It's not right. It's not right to them, and it's not right to the police officers.

"It's a win to get them off the floors of the police stations, and it's a win for the police officers to have them out of there." Reports have claimed some migrants are being forced to put up with "dealing with bed bugs, illnesses, food and basic healthcare shortages." Then-Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot issued the emergency declaration on May 9 "in response to the surge of new arrivals since last month."

GOP Governor Abbott's said the busing scheme is there to protest what he sees as lax immigration laws from the Biden administration. The mayoral statement added: "The City of Chicago is in the midst of a national humanitarian crisis, and through a unified effort in accordance with its values as a welcoming city, Chicago is doing everything it can to respond to the urgency of this matter.

Mayor Lightfoot also said the federal government had not done enough to help their situation. "I am disappointed in the allocation of FEMA dollars," she said. "We have made our disappointment known through the appropriate channels."
