Description

As more temporary housing facilities open for migrants and asylum-seekers, neighborhood resistance grows to the city’s rollout. During this week’s Immigrant and Refugee Rights Committee meeting, some alders demanded a more comprehensive plan. Block Club Chicago’s Melody Mercado and host and educator Lawrence ‘Binkey’ Tolefree catch us up on the latest. We are also celebrating Chicago’s steakhouse revival and a fest-filled weekend!
