Chicago cleared a migrant homeless encampment near the Near West District police station as part of its "encampment initiative".

Chicago cleared a migrant homeless encampment near the Near West District police station, denying any connection to the Democratic National Convention. The city's "encampment initiative" involves removing migrants from eight tent cities across Chicago. Over 46,000 migrants have arrived in the past two years, mainly fleeing violence or poverty in Venezuela. The city insists that relocation is to provide access to supportive services and future housing opportunities.
