Residents of Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood are divided as protests mount over plans to build a migrant camp, according to a local news report.
A meeting over Chicago's brewing migrant crisis in the Brighton Park neighborhood became heated as residents protested a planned camp that can house over 2,000 migrants, according to Fox 32 Chicago. Residents of the southwest side of Chicago neighborhood were fiercely divided over the plan, with city officials confirming their plans to build a camp for migrants on a '10-acre vacant lot, located at 38th and California,' per the outlet.
Some local officials said that they did not learn of the city's plan to build a camp for migrants until residents started making phone calls. ' were calling our office and you know, frankly, that’s how I was first notified,' Ald. Julia Ramirez told Fox 32. 'I had reached out to the city and they verified that was the case and ever since then, I’ve been pushing the administration to be more open, more transparent about the details.
