Today, Chicago Park District workers used heavy equipment to evict unhoused people from Gompers Park on the Northwest Side. While residents were given some opportunity to save belongings, all remaining tents and possessions were destroyed this morning.

City officials abruptly delayed plans to clear tents from Gompers Park this week, nearly a month after the city held a rapid rehousing event at the encampment.
