Chicago's migrant crisis continues to grow more serious as thousands arriving from the border and the city is struggling to help them.
Thursday morning, ABC7 cameras captured dozens of migrants sleeping on the floor at the police station in Rogers Park.
A plan is in place to move some of them into Park District fieldhouses, like one at Brands Park in the 3200-block of North Elston Avenue. When asked how many park district buildings would be used to house migrants, and how many families needed to make new plans, the district responded with this statement saying in part, "In partnership with the City of Chicago's efforts to provide respite to asylum seekers the Chicago Park District will temporarily relocate Spring programming from Brands Park to alternate locations.
It's not just Brands, but other fieldhouses are being used too, like here at Leone on the North Side. There is plan on the table to use old school buildings, like the old South Shore High School in the 7600-block of South Constance Avenue.
