Chicago moves migrants from O'Hare, Midway airports after probe

Illegal migrants are no longer camping out in Chicago's major airports after a Senate committee probed the issue.

Migrants are no longer camping out at Chicago's two major airports after the Senate Commerce Committee probed the mayor's office this year about how much in federal resources was being spent to keep them there.A week after the committee's letter to Mayor Brandon Johnson in late January, the migrants were quietly relocated after being camped out at O'Hare International Airport and Midway Airport for months.

"Every day we’re in meetings, on calls with the state, with the county, to figure out what the long-term plan is to get through the calendar year together," Pacione-Zayas said.The Republicans, led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wrote to Johnson about the city's move to house migrants at O’Hare International Airport since March 2023 and, more recently, at Midway International Airport. Images emerged last year of hundreds of migrants camped out in a section of O'Hare.
