Description

More than 14,000 migrants are staying at shelters across the city. A recent investigation by Borderless Magazine found that migrants staying at the city's largest shelter described inhumane and unsanitary conditions, leaving them vulnerable to illness. Borderless editorial director Mauricio Peña talks about the living conditions of the Pilsen shelter site and tells producer Michelle Navarro how the city is responding and what’s next for migrants facing new deadlines to leave city shelters.
