Filthy homeless encampment is set up INSIDE Chicago's O'Hare Airport
2023-02-16
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Homeless encampments have overrun Chicago's O'Hare International Airport

  • Images of some of the thousands sleeping rough continue to emerge online

  • It comes amid soaring crime rates as well as a citywide homelessness crisis

Homeless encampments have sprung up inside crime-riddled Chicago's O'Hare International Airport terminal leaving some concerned for their safety as images of people sleeping filthy makeshift shelters have emerged.

Thousands of people sleeping rough have sought refuge at the popular thoroughfare with many setting up shelters inside the terminal buildings.
Several photos, and more content, at link. I didn't see a lot of these folks the last time I was at O'Hare, but there were a few in the underground walkway from parking garage to the terminals that looked to be (although they may have just gotten off a Spirit flight and were still in shock).

#2  I guess d'Mayor hasn't figured out how to entice the zombies with free bus tickets to the southern border so they can be closer to their supply. Then again that would cut out all the middle men and graft in between, not to mention all the useless patronage jobs for program in dealing with homelessness.
