Chicago Tribune editorial hammers local leaders for hazardous contamination at migrant camp

After a local investigation found dangerous amounts of hazardous chemicals in a city location that could potentially host migrants, the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune implored Gov. J.B. Pritzker to house them elsewhere.

Brighton Park, once the sight of a zinc smelter, has been slated to house migrants in a facility that could endure Chicago's harsh winter conditions. However, an investigation concluded that the high levels of contaminants that remain could be a hazard in itself.
