Frustrated locals packed a Chicago City Council meeting on Tuesday to voice their disapproval of the city's status as a sanctuary city for migrants.
Protesters shut down a Chicago City Council meeting on Tuesday during a debate over allowing residents to decide whether the city should remain a sanctuary for migrants. Frustrated residents, mostly African Americans, packed the gallery during the City Council Rules Committee meeting, shouting and booing aldermen during a heated discussion on Chicago’s sanctuary city status, FOX32 Chicago reported.
The meeting was suspended until Nov. 16. While Mayor Brandon Johnson has acknowledged that the sanctuary city issue has divided the city, the crisis and approaching winter months has prompted the mayor to open camps for migrants. Some of those camps are being placed in poor Black and Hispanic neighborhoods, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. DEM MAYORS BEGGING BIDEN FOR HELP WITH MIGRANT SURGE REJECT $1.
