Whether it is for game day, or you are craving a finger-licking good food for movie night, few foods can hit the spot like chicken wings. Whether you prefer a straight-forward rub, or you want the wings coated in sauce, there’s always a flavorful option available. However, if you prefer to pick the wings up from a local restaurant than make them yourself, there is one less choice, as one local wings restaurant unexpectedly called it quits and closed up shop.

Concerns rise as Chicago implements strict limits for migrants in shelters with first evictions to begin in January. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has introduced a new 60-day stay limit for migrants residing in city-run shelters. Aimed at freeing up space and expediting the transition to permanent housing, the policy has sparked concerns among dedicated volunteers who have been assisting migrants for several months.

Several people experiencing homelessness and those who support them told the City Council Monday that encampment sweeps in harsh weather must stop. They spoke in support of an ordinance that would disallow sweeps when the temperature dips below 32 degrees. “I have been out there and have watched,” said Richard Creswell during public comment period. “No one can find their gloves.” He said encampment sweepers shake the tents of the unhoused early in the morning, telling them to pack up and get out. He said sometimes crews will use a Bobcat poised to bulldoze a tent to get people to move faster. “They say if you don’t do this, we’re going to throw away your tent.” Creswell said campers often grab the frozen tent poles with their bare hands, which feel like they’re burning. “It’s really cruel.”

Homeless: Stop encampment sweeps in cold Denver weather

A man who owns property next to the Comfort Inn where Denver migrants are being sheltered said children frolic on his property, “riding on scooters unaccompanied” and climbing up buildings to play on the roof.

Amidst disillusionment, migrants depart Windy City return to Venezuela in search of better lives. Migrants who sought refuge in Chicago are choosing to leave the city in pursuit of a better life. Chicago has become so unpleasant for migrants who resent being housed in shelters and being refused the top paying jobs that they are fleeing back to Venezuela,

When a bus from Texas dropped off some migrants Monday morning in front of the Colorado Capitol, Evan Dreyer from the mayor’s office blasted the atrocity. “These are folks who have come from the Texas border after long journeys, and they are not prepared for cold weather,” Dreyer told the Denver Post. “And to drop them off like that, just randomly, in the cold — in the freezing cold — is inhumane, dangerous and it puts their lives at risk. It’s shameful.”

Patience wearing thin between migrants, traditionally homeless in Denver

The Denver City Council will consider again Monday extending the mayor’s emergency declaration over homelessness. In reality, Denver is facing two emergencies – the matter of the unhoused population that’s already here, and the issue of migrants from south of the border that have come flowing into the city. From December 2022 to August 2023, the Denver mayor declared an emergency around the migrant influx. The situation with the migrants is even more urgent now. Migrants who have timed out of the city’s shelter system are living on the streets in tents. Many are families with young children and pregnant mothers.
