"I'm asking and calling for the federal judge to speed up the process of the asylees. There's no way they should be able to take Woodlawn, this community, under house arrest and make residents afraid to even come out and enjoy this sunshine and this fresh air like we do," one resident said.

Community activists say the senior citizens living nearby are fed up and demand their neighborhood to be safe.

FOX 32 Chicago reached out to police, but have not yet heard back.
