‘Everyone Is in Danger’: Chicagoans Decry ‘Chaos and Anarchy’ at Migrant Shelter Near Democratic Convention Site
‘We were given promises that there would be law and order,’ one observer says, adding that ‘those promises have not been kept.’
Ahead of the Democratic National Convention at Chicago, residents of a migrant shelter just blocks from the convention hall are reportedly wreaking havoc on the area. Now, Chicago residents and businesses are calling on the city to move the shelter by the end of September, saying it’s leading to hundreds of police calls, open drug use, crime, and dangerous conditions.
The migrant shelter, at 1640 West Walnut Street, is mere blocks away from where the Democratic National Convention will be held next week, at the United Center arena.
