>> CHICAGO >> OFFICIALS HAVE BEGUN SLOWLY VICTIM MIGRANTS FROM CITY SHELTERS, EVEN AS MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON IS UNDER INCREASING PRESSURE TO SCRAPE THE 60 DAY LIMIT ON SHELTER STATE.

LET'S LISTEN TO ALDERMAN ON THE DAMASCUS URGING THE MAYOR TO REVERSE COURSE.

>> THE CITY SHOULD NOT BE IN THE BUSINESS OF HANDING OUT EVICTIONS.

NO ONE IN NEED OF SHELTER, WHETHER THEY ARE NEWLY ARRIVED OR WHETHER THEY WERE BORN AND RAISED HERE SHOULD EVER FACE THE FEAR AND INSTABILITY OF BEING EVICTED FROM A CITY SHELTER KNOWING THEY HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

>> WDW NEWS REPORTER HEATHER JOINS US NOW WITH MORE WITH THE LATEST NOW.

HEATHER, BREAK IT DOWN FOR U.S. CITY OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN GOOD BEGUN ENFORCING THE POLICY ON SUNDAY.

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EVICTED SO FAR?

WELL, ORIGINALLY WE THOUGHT 34 PEOPLE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE CITY SHELTER ON SUNDAY, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE QUALIFIED FOR ONE OF A NUMBER OF EXEMPTIONS FROM THE 60 DAY IN FACT, ONLY 3 PEOPLE ON THAT FIRST DAY HAD TO LEAVE ON MONDAY.

5 PEOPLE AND THEN AGAIN UNTIL WEDNESDAY WHEN 7 PEOPLE HAD TO LEAVE.

SO THAT ONLY A TOTAL OF 15, WHICH RAISES REAL QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF MIGRANTS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE AND WHERE THEY WILL GO.

IF THEY DO HAVE TO GO.

AND NOW THIS HAS BEEN A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.

NEARLY HALF OF THOSE EVICTIONS CAME ON THE SAME DAY THAT ALDERMAN VASQUEZ AND OTHER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS CALLED FOR JOHNSON TO RETHINK THE PLAN.

ANY SIGN THE MAYOR?

>> PLANS TO LISTEN.

SO THE MAYOR WAS ASKED ABOUT THAT ON WEDNESDAY.

HE SAID, LOOK, I DON'T RELISH THIS, BUT THE CITY HAS NO CHOICE.

HE SAID ABSENT SUBSTANTIAL IN CONSIDERABLE HELP FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE HE SAYS >> THE CITY OF CHICAGO IS JUST NOT EQUIPPED TO HOUSE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SENT HERE REALLY WITH NOTHING MORE THAN THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACK.

AND THIS IS SORT OF THE LAST RESORT FOR THE CITY, AS I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BRACING FOR MORE BUSES TO START COMING FROM TEXAS PAID FOR BY REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT.

AS THE WEATHER STARTS TO WARM UP BY HIS DECISION.

HE AND THE CITY IS COPING WITH THE MEASLES OUTBREAK WITH AT LEAST A DOZEN CASES CONFIRMED AT THE CITY'S LATEST SHELTER.

WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THIS?

WELL, IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT THE OUTBREAK AT THE SHELTER IS GETTING SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE.

THERE HAVE BEEN 2 CASES OF MEASLES CONFIRMED IN CHICAGO IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

IT'S NOT CLEAR WHETHER THOSE ARE RELATED TO THE MIGRANT SHELTER IN PILSEN, BUT APPEARS EFFORTS BY CITY OFFICIALS TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE VACCINATED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IS AT LEAST APPEARING TO SHOW RESULTS.

YOU TALKED BIT ABOUT MORE BUSES POSSIBLY COMING HERE.

WHAT'S WHAT'S THE STATUS YOU WOODS AND THE LANDING ZONE?

SO IF PEOPLE NEED SHELTER AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO, THEY CAN GO BACK TO THE LANDING.

SO WHICH IS THOSE BUSES IN THE LAST LOOP WHERE IF THERE ARE BEDS, THEY WILL FIND NEW.

THEY CAN HAVE THE SORT OF START OVER AGAIN, GET ANOTHER 60 DAY LIMIT IN THE SHELTER.

CITY OFFICIALS SAY I DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION, IF ANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EVICTED FROM THE SHELTERS HAVE ACTUALLY TRIED TO DO THAT.

THE ISSUE IS IS THE CITY HAS REALLY STARTED TO CLOSE SHELTERS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY WITH LESS THEN SORT OF 11,000 PEOPLE IN SHELTER RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S DOWN 10% FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT DROP.

AND IF CITY OFFICIALS ARE LOOKING TO SAVE MONEY AND CONSOLIDATE OPERATIONS, IT MAY LIMIT THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE FORCED TO LEAVE SHELTER TO RETURN TO SHELTER.

AND IS THERE ANY WORD ON MORE FEDERAL RESOURCES?

SO WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE BUDGET DEAL THAT IS MOVING THROUGH CONGRESS RIGHT NOW.

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT AID FOR CITIES TO SORT HELP COPE WITH THIS CRISIS BECAUSE, OF COURSE, IT'S NOT JUST CHICAGO.

IT'S ALSO DENVER IN NEW YORK, WHICH ARE REALLY STRUGGLING TO SORT OF HELP THESE PEOPLE.

NOW, MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON VERY PROUD.

HE SAYS THAT CHICAGO IS REALLY DOING MORE THAN ANY OTHER
