As the weather gets colder, Chicago has begun moving some migrants bused to the city from the southern border out of the police stations.
The state has seen over 24,000 noncitizens arrive over the past 15 months, which has led to the state spending more and more taxpayer dollars to care for the crisis.
A significant amount of arrivals are being housed at O'Hare Airport and in tents in and outside police stations.
Over the weekend, the city began to move these tents from the cold as all the migrant tents are now gone from outside the 18th district police station, the first police station to remove the tents.
