A bus was parked outside Piotrowski Park on Saturday afternoon as migrants staying at the park's field house were relocated to a nearby shelter.

“I am not against anyone because I am also an immigrant,” said Little Village resident Rogelio Diaz. “If the city is helping them, it is very good.”

“Catholic Charities and New Life Centers have been amazing at supporting our migrants to get into more permanent housing and they will continue to do that,” said Alderman Rodriguez. “Because of those effort and because of the decrease of new arrivals—we’re able to decompress sites right now.” One man staying at the temporary shelter in Gage Park told NBC 5/Telemundo Chicago that the city planned to move him out in less than two weeks.

While his future remains uncertain, city leaders said they’re doing their best to address the situation.
