The city's new policy aims to encourage independence among adult migrants, with families granted extensions until the school year's end.

  • Chicago will begin evicting adult migrants from city shelters starting Sunday, focusing on those without children under 18 and who have been in shelters for 60 days.
  • The policy, initially set to start Saturday, was amended to begin Sunday, with families receiving extensions until the end of the school year.
  • More than 2,000 migrants are expected to be evicted by the end of April, with the first 35 evictions happening on Sunday.
  • Migrants evicted from shelters can reapply for admission and must be vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox.
  • The city's actions aim to encourage migrant independence while evaluating options for better care for all Chicagoans.
