Greg Abbott to pressure the federal government to enact stricter immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were the first to open our doors to the migrants and they\u2019re still coming. And we have not turned them away,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.local10.com\/news\/national\/2023\/10\/18\/chicagos-top-cop-says-using-police-stations-as-short-term-migrant-housing-is-burden-for-department\/#:~:text=Chicago%20Police%20Superintendent%20Larry%20Snelling%20responds%20to,asylum%20has%20been%20a%20%22burden%22%20on%20the\">Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling told the Associated Press on Oct 17, 2023.<\/a> \u201cBut what we need are other people to step up in these situations because the burden has been on the police department to house people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time, individual volunteers and mutual aid groups were already working with migrants, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/the-mobile-migrant-health-team\">providing urgent medical care <\/a>and handing out sleeping bags and sandwiches. \u201cThe Orphanage\u201d became a natural home for some of this mutual aid work. <a href=\"https:\/\/midwestbookstoprisoners.org\/\">Midwest Books to Prisoners, a nonprofit organization that sends literature to prisoners across the country,<\/a> worked out of the building, and other groups regularly hosted concerts and community events. Once Yusmary connected with \u201cthe Orphanage,\u201d community members stepped up to provide El Comedor with the ingredients for meals.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on what ingredients they were given, they might cook arepa \u2013 a flatbread popular in Venezuela \u2013 stuffed with cheese, black beans or chicken. In a huge metal bowl, they might make ensalada de payaso (clown salad), with beets, tomatoes, onions and carrots. Other times, they might make banana milk or chicken soup.<\/p>\n<p>Word of the community kitchen quickly spread among Chicago\u2019s migrants, most of whom came from Venezuela and were hungry for food that tasted of home. Some were staying at the city-run migrant shelters, like the one in Pilsen, which were spun up to move migrants out of police stations.<\/p>\n<p>El Comedor fed them on Tuesdays and Saturdays on folding tables in the community center\u2019s main room. As the city moved migrants from police stations to city-run shelters to<a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/2024\/03\/18\/chicago-illinois-asylum-seeker-emergency-assistance-venezuelan-migrants-jb-pritzker-brandon-johnson\/\"> subsidized apartments<\/a> or homeless shelters, \u201cthe Orphanage\u201d also began acting as a shelter for migrants. Some migrants were able to get work permits, others were not. Many struggled to get the regular paychecks necessary to rent an apartment in Chicago. So while they worked, applied for asylum, and looked for a place to live, \u201cthe Orphanage\u201d gave them a stable home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s not easy to work here,\u201d Yusmary said. \u201cYou need courage, you have to have faith. You go out, you look, but without papers, it&#8217;s very difficult to get a job. And there are times when you do get a job, but it is very, very complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/2025\/01\/21\/chicago-donald-trump-inauguration-immigration-deportation-raids-ice-fear\/\">the election of President Trump and threats of mass deportations<\/a>, El Comedor changed again. Many migrants were afraid to go out, and El Comedor slowed down its meal program. They made boxed meals that migrants could eat wherever they were living. They were also hired by another mutual aid group to cook food that could be given away in community fridges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"default\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"none\" >\r\n      <div class=\"inner\">\r\n        <div class=\"hover-wrap\"> \r\n          <div class=\"hover-wrap-inner\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"1280\" width=\"1920\" data-animation=\"none\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-1245x830.jpg 1245w, https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_03_31_SoupKitchen_02-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1450px) 75vw, (min-width: 1000px) 85vw, 100vw\" \/>\r\n         <\/div>\r\n      <\/div><span class=\"vc_figure-caption ccfic-text media-caption\">The main room in \u201cthe Orphanage\u201d served as the eating area for El Comedor in Bridgeport and a working space for the nonprofit organization Midwest Books to Prisoners.<\/span><span class=\"media-credit\">Max Herman\/Borderless Magazine<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<h2 id=\"caught-in-the-middle\">Caught in the Middle<\/h2>\n<p>As El Comedor was evolving, things were also changing at \u201cthe Orphanage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The First Lutheran Church of the Trinity property was sold in June 2024 to developer Howard Mui for $1.1 million. Soon after, Mui&#8217;s attorney sent a 30-day notice to those living in the property to leave by Aug. 1, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Eviction court records show that a Windy City Process Serving agent successfully gave the 30-day notice to \u201cJeremy Hammond\u201d (sic) on June 27, 2024. Additional documents submitted to the court by Mui\u2019s attorney show a \u201cCo-working Space Agreement\u201d between Jason Hammond of Midwest Books to Prisoners and Thomas Gaulke of First Lutheran Church of the Trinity for the nonprofit organization to use the former church space. However, Gaulke denied signing the agreement in a conversation with a church representative, according to a notarized certification from the representative in court filings. Gaulke did not respond to Borderless\u2019 requests for comment, and Hammond declined to go on record for this story.<\/p>\n<p>After residents did not leave, Mui\u2019s lawyer, Nicholas Frenzel, filed a complaint in eviction court on Aug. 2, 2024, asking for possession of the building. Frenzel did not reply to requests for a comment.<\/p>\n<p>The eviction court process has been confusing for the El Comedor migrants, who are unfamiliar with the U.S. court system and mostly do not speak English. The migrants told Borderless they did not know about the ongoing eviction case until the same process-serving agent returned on Jan. 27, 2025, and gave a court summons to one of the migrants, who passed it on to Hammond.<\/p>\n<p>Migrants told Borderless they had hoped to stay at the building until August 2025, as they were told that was the previous owner\u2019s rental agreement date. While the eviction case is not over, the judge told Borderless that a settlement is close. The details of the proposed settlement are not public, but the eviction is expected to move forward. El Comedor\u2019s team will soon need to find a new place to live and cook.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"there-is-no-guarantee-of-anything\">\u201cThere is No Guarantee of Anything\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Amid the uncertainty at El Comedor and deportation threats from the Trump administration, Yusmary is questioning whether she and her family should stay in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is something that I believe that of the 100% of Venezuelans who have come to the United States, 90% want to return,\u201d Yusmary said.

What is going to happen tomorrow?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yusmary owned a small business in Venezuela that sold school supplies.
