CHICAGO - In a surprising turn of events, migrants who were relocated from Texas to Chicago find themselves battling to stay in their temporary housing on the city's Northwest Side.
Over 40 families from Venezuela have been accommodated at the YMCA on West Touhy Avenue. However, the city authorities have reportedly made plans to relocate them to a new facility.
Despite this decision, the migrants assert that they have been warmly embraced by the community and are determined to remain where they are.
