Tio Hardiman, executive director of Violence Interrupters, joins ‘America’s Newsroom' to discuss the reality of Chicago's crime crisis and argues the situation is not getting any better.
Chicago saw a massive increase in the number of homeless people in the city over the past year, fueled by the ongoing migrant surge into shelters in the sanctuary city, according to new data.
The city, which will host the Democratic National Convention in August, released a snapshot of homeless numbers in the Windy City, which showed there were 18,836 homeless people one night in January, up from 6,139 the same day a year before.
The point-in-time count estimates the number of people in shelters, transitional housing, encampments and other "unsheltered" locations. The estimate noted the pressures the migrant crisis poses to the city.
