Two groups board at Elmhurst station, police say
By Dee Longfellow FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT
According to the Facebook page of the Elmhurst Police Department, a bus of 58 migrants from Texas stopped at the Elmhurst train station. Someone on board acting as a “leader” purchased Metra tickets for all passengers, who boarded the 9:13 p.m. train to Chicago. Everyone remained on the bus until the train arrived. Elmhurst police and fire personnel were on hand at the station to help coordinate the group and answer questions. Later, there was an update indicating that an unscheduled bus with 33 migrants from Texas, reportedly stopped at the Elmhurst train station. That group boarded the 11:15 p.m. Metra train to Chicago. In addition, the Village of Clarendon Hills released a statement that it had received reports of migrant buses dropping people off at both the Hinsdale and Westmont Metra stations for transportation to shelters in downtown Chicago. Clarendon Hills said there had been “no known issues” and that people had boarded the trains, however, the village temporarily closed the train station and shelters and increased police patrols.
