A Chicago suburb has been battered by a string of recent crimes committed by migrants who live in or near the Windy City.
From Oct. 23 to Jan. 17, a total of 47 migrants were arrested in Oak Brook, Illinois, mostly for alleged property crimes, according to Brian Strockis, the chief of police for the Oak Brook Police Department.
Most of the migrants who were arrested were charged with retail theft and burglary, Strockis told Fox News Digital.
The latest incident involved an Ecuadorian migrant who resides in Chicago and is accused of stealing more than $3,000 worth of merchandise from retail stores and evading Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) supervision by cutting off his electronic monitoring device.
