Colin Boyle/Block Club Chicago | Sebastian Gonzalez, 6, and Zoe Torcat, 4, spend time with their family while they, and other migrants from South America, have been sheltering at the Chicago Police 24th District station in Rogers Park, as seen on May 8, 2023.

Around 3,100 migrants are in temporary shelters, relying on donated clothes and food as Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson inherits the crisis. “We don’t have beds. Children are sleeping on the floor," one man said.

AUSTIN — In her farewell speech Monday, outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot touted her accomplishments during a term marred by a pandemic, civil unrest and a skyrocketing homicide rate.

But she failed to address the escalating crisis the city now faces, which has left migrants without beds and showers living on police station floors as officials scramble to serve the thousands of new people arriving.
