Some migrants to be redirected ‘No notice’ migrants who come to Oak Park will be sent to a ‘landing zone’ in Chicago By LUZANE DRAUGHON
Bali Tie
Staff Reporter
The city of Chicago “landing zone” is a designated area where transportation vehicles with migrants are able to drop off the new arrivals. A Dec. 7 Oak Park memorandum outlines protocols for sending any new asylum seekers away. This includes sending buses with asylum seekers to the “landing zone.” Asylum seekers who arrive in Oak Park, according to the memorandum, will not be allowed to disembark from a bus and will be advised local shelters are at capacity. The driver will then be directed to the “landing zone” at 800 S. Desplaines St., Chicago.
