A plan to move hundreds of migrants who arrived in Chicago to the city’s Richard J. Daley College was delayed on Sunday. NBC 5’s Christian Farr reports.
A plan to move hundreds of migrants, who previously arrived in Chicago from the U.S.-Mexico border, to the city's Richard J. Daley College was delayed on Sunday.
Mayor Brandon Johnson's office released a statement, saying the decision was made not to move migrants from the shuttered High Ridge YMCA on the city's North Side to the college in West Lawn.
“After careful consideration of the impact this would have on asylum-seeking families and the overall mission, and to provide more time for planning….The City has decided to postpone moving migrant families from High Ridge YMCA to Daley today," the statement read.
