Residents in Chicago's Morgan Park neighborhood made their concerns known as the city discusses a plan to create a migrant shelter there.
Morgan Park residents raised concerns over the city's plan to house migrants in Chicago at 115th and Halsted.
That's where some of the residents gathered on Sunday, making their voices heard in the old Jewel parking lot."The people here in the community, they're afraid they're going to lose jobs. They're afraid there won't be shelter for the homeless. And so, this is a big thing for this community," said Pastor Anthony Wilson.
ABC7 reached out to 21st Ward Alderman Ronnie Mosely for comment on the protest, but haven't heard back yet.
