Tuberculosis Cases Reported in Chicago Migrant Shelters

City officials and health departments respond as concerns over public health and political fallout arise.

Health officials in Chicago report a small number of tuberculosis cases at migrant shelters, with no substantial public threat identified.
Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez criticizes city's response to tuberculosis and measles among migrants, calling for standard American immunization requirements.
Lopez warns that the crisis could alienate core Democratic voters, particularly Black and Latino communities.
Contact tracing and treatment efforts are underway for the reported tuberculosis cases.
The outbreak follows recent measles cases in Chicago's migrant shelters, raising concerns about vaccination and public health policies.
