Plans to move migrants from North Side YMCA on hold
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Plans are now on hold to relocate hundreds of migrants from the High Ridge YMCA.
The move from the now-closed YMCA at 2424 W. Touhy Ave. was supposed to happen Friday. But parents inside the shelter were told by management buses wouldn't be coming.
The date for the move was first postponed to Sunday, and then yet again when Sunday came around.
According to Mayor Brandon Johnson's office statement, the families will stay to give them some extra time to plan and find possible alternatives to the shelter at Richard J. Daley College on the city's Southwest Side.
Many asylum-seekers previously pleaded with the city to stay where they are, and said they have support from people in the community.
