Child dies aboard asylum-seekers bus en route to Chicago

LA Times  

A 3-year-old child has died while aboard a bus that was carrying asylum-seekers being sent to Chicago, the Illinois Department of Public Health said. The Chicago Tribune reported that state health department spokeswoman Lauri Sanders confirmed the child had died Thursday while the bus was entering the Chicago area. “IDPH is working with local health officials, state police and federal authorities to the fullest extent possible to get answers in this tragic situation,” Sanders said in a statement Thursday evening. The large number of migrants who have arrived in Chicago have stretched city resources with individuals filling large shelters and, in some cases, being housed inside police stations.
