Some migrants in Chicago were locked out of a police station where they were being housed as they gathered on a crowded sidewalk Wednesday with all their belongings, as the city was preparing for more arrivals.

Outside the 1st District police station on 17th and State streets, migrants, along with mattresses, furniture, carpets and personal items were crammed on a sidewalk, Fox Chicago reported. The doors to the police station were locked and the building lobby was empty, the news report said.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Chicago Police Department and city officials.

A Venezuelan migrant told the news outlet that he had been staying in the lobby of the police station but that it had been closed down Wednesday. He said the migrants were told to move their stuff outside and a portable toilet was placed on the sidewalk.

Several police stations in the city have been housing migrants who have arrived since last year. Shelters are currently housing more than 9,800 migrants, while another 3,000 are still waiting to be placed somewhere.

More than 17,000 migrants have come to Chicago since last August. Many have been bussed from Texas as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's plan to relocate migrants from border towns to so-called "sanctuary" cities to bring attention to the influx of asylum seekers.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday announced that he plans to visit the U.S.-Mexico border. He did not disclose any specifics of the planned visit.

"So, going to the border is to make sure that everybody knows that my administration is committed to making sure that we are putting together the full force of government at every single level to ensure that these families, who, by the way, they're not illegal, they're asylum seekers, they are protected by international law," Johnson said at a news conference.

He said the city was expecting many as 22 buses full of migrants Wednesday.

On the same day, residents on Chicago's South Side also announced a lawsuit against the city in an effort to stop the housing of migrants in schools, parks and police stations, the news outlet said.

"It's not about the migrants themselves, it's about the city's response to them and the lies and the mistruths told by the administration. And they are not working in the best interest of Chicago. If you call it a humanitarian effort, they shouldn't be sleeping in police stations on the floor," organizer Brian Mullins said.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker joined a growing number of Democrats who have criticized Biden's border policies when he sent a letter to the president on Monday with a list of demands outlining how the federal government's response to the border crisis is inadequate. Pritzker complained that more than 15,000 migrants have been shipped "like cargo" to Illinois from border states "in a dehumanizing attempt to score political points."

Pritzker wrote that the number of migrant arrivals is "overwhelming our ability to provide aid to the refugee population."

"Unfortunately, the welcome and aid Illinois has been providing to these asylum seekers has not been matched with support by the federal government. Most critically, the government's lack of intervention and coordination at the border has created an untenable situation for Illinois," the letter states.

god he so cute, his whole family is so cute actually

[ID: A Mairimashita! Iruma-kin extra titled "Balam Sukima." It shows a young Balam, captioned "living at the dorms". Narration explains it's "the day Balam left home" as Balam's parents speak to him.

"You can come home whenever you feel lonely." Balam: "Okay." "Make sure you eat all your meals." "Don't just go chasing after creatures." "Okay." "Even if you're angry, don't ever hit anyone with all your strength." "Okay?"

Balam closes his eyes, starting to look frustrated, as they continue. "When you touch someone, do it gently, don't break any arms." "That's right, stop before they pass out." Balam is silent, and they exclaim, "Shichiro! Where's your answer?" Narration states, "They worry so much they still call twice a week." The last panel shows one parent touching his cheeks and a bright glow emanating as Balam, still a bit annoyed, says, "Okay." End ID] ID by @princess-of-purple-prose

Satoru Gojo goes to the same cafe every day for his coffee-flavored confectionary beverage. You are the barista tasked with pumping his drink with the unreasonable assortment of syrup squeezes.

You don't blink at it. You've been in customer service forever. Everything is second nature to you. But you give him a look when you hand him a drink and he just starts going.

He likes to make small chat, you learn. About meaningless things - desserts, drinks, the weather - but he makes you laugh, and he laughs at your jokes, too. He's smiling every time you talk.

He's beautiful - in that way that makes you uncertain if he's really there - and friendly, and he seems a bit lonely, eager to converse.

Something tells you Satoru probably doesn't have a lot of close friends. He's rich, too, judging by the massive tips he leaves you.

The thing is, you do a lot of things on autopilot. It's just the way these things get after a while. Pouring drinks, "What would you like today?", "I'll have that out for you soon!", "Have a nice day!", all that stuff.

Sometimes, though. Sometimes. Wires get crossed.

He's picked up his drink to leave, giving you a cheeky smile and a little wave, and you tell him, without thinking twice:

"Love you, bye!"

Oh. Oh fucking hell -

"Love you too!"

Hello! 👋🏻

I enjoy your posts and headcanons and all the writing you do so much!! I've not dropped in to say hi before, I don't think... I'm a bit shy on occasion. 😆 Anyway, hi!

I wanted to plop a funny prompt in your inbox! I saw this prompt on the page "creativewritingprompts" and thought it would be hilarious for a Tav and Gale to experience. There's no pressure in writing it, of course! It could just be fun brain food. 😂

♡♡♡

Tav: I'm not drunk. Can a drunk person do this?

Tav: .......

Gale: You're not doing anything.

Tav: But... I sent you my love. Did you... did you not get it?

(As a first confession 🤣 Imagine Gale’s face)

Gale, furrowing his brow: Wait—you sent me….? Did you say…your love?

Tav: Yes…

Gale, eyes glistening: …you’re in love with me?

Tav: YES!

Gale: Truly? (takes Tav’s hands) Oh, that is—that is most wonderful to hear! I love you, too. *laughing with relief* Granted, this isn’t quite the romantic setting I’d planned on, and I’m sure the wine has loosened your tongue a bit, but—

Tav: Nonono, I know what I’m saying. And what I’m saying is *boops Gale’s nose* you’re my pookie.

Gale, bottom lip quivering, eyes ready to overflow: …I’m your pookie?

Astarion, shouting from across the camp: TAV MAY BE DRUNK BUT I’M THE ONE WHO’S ABOUT TO VOMIT

Promt:

Bruce kept trackers in the people he loved. Ever since Dick was a young boy prone to get kidnapped. Some with consent, some… not so much. But it was a crime he was willing to commit, if only for the way it calmed his nerves when he looked at the little dots on his screen.

Alfred, in the kitchen, working tirelessly on lunch.

Tim, in Drake Manor (much to his annoyance, but he was working on that one), probably enjoying the weekend before school.

Dick, in Bludhaven (again, much to his annoyance) spending his day off with some friends in a coffee shop.

Barbara, in the library, helping visitors.

And the one little dot that always pained him to look at, but couldn’t bring himself to disarm, right above-

Where is it?

There.

Why in all Hell’s name was his son’s body in the hospital instead of the cemetery?

Dear anon… you sure know how to pick em! Things got very out of hand very quickly while drawing, and well. You inspired me to draft a comic! I didn’t want to make you wait long, so here are the sketches for the pages relevant to your request <3
