Chicago alderman says tuberculosis, measles 'crisis' in migrant shelters may push away Black and Latino voters
Story by Nikolas Lanum • 23h •
Democratic Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez said he is concerned city officials have been inattentive to alarms raised about a potential outbreak after health officials confirmed a small number of tuberculosis cases at migrant shelters in the Windy City.
Lopez said he has been warning officials about a possible crisis since August, when ambulance receipts showed people were testing positive for tuberculosis.
Health officials in the city have not disclosed how many migrants have tested positive for the diseases or at what shelters. Migrants have previously tested positive for measles.
"This is a crisis we could have avoided, just like with the measles, if we had simply instituted the American standard of vaccines upon all those migrants being shipped to the city of Chicago," Lopez said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends."
