'Fervent opposition': Blue city mayor scraps plan to open new migrant shelter after backlash
Fox News
Chicago's city government is backing away from a proposal to build a migrant shelter in the South Side, purportedly due to the upcoming Democratic National Convention.
"Yesterday, Ald. Lee met with Mayor Johnson about these plans and outlined in no uncertain terms that she is fully and unequivocally opposed to standing up this shelter at this location," she said in the email. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

She cited concerns about safety, a problematic location surrounded by train lines and a manufacturing district, and a lack of justification for the proposed relocation.
