Venezuelan Migrants Discover Chicago Is Far Worse Than Where They Came From

Chicago — A recent video shows a chaotic scene what appears to be Chicago minors and adults attacking a group of migrants in Rogers Park Wednesday afternoon. The families, who arrived from Venezuela a few months ago, said their children were attacked after school near Sullivan High School by a group made up of minors and some adults. Mirna Mendez, the mother of 15-year-old Asdrubal, said her son was hit twice with a bat and kicked several times, leaving him bruised with broken ribs and a black eye.

Asdrubal said he’s always been looked at differently for being new and learning the language, but he never imagined it would have lead to this. Another student, Anthony who was hospitalized after being kicked to the ground and hit with a bat during Wednesday’s attack, said he’s never experienced anything like this before.
