    CHICAGO — Chicago has begun evicting some migrants from its shelters, a controversial policy that had been delayed for months but appeared
    haphazard, a migrant told NBC News on Monday.

    Migrants who have been evicted, as well as those who face a rapidly
    approaching deadline, said there has been widespread confusion about the process and frustration with being forced to leave while they still lack
    the resources to find their own places to stay.

    In the first two days of enforcement, fewer than 10 migrants have been
    evicted from their shelters, according to the city. Five migrants were
    forced to leave Monday because of the policy, a city spokesperson said,
    while three were evicted Sunday.

    Franklin Romero, 29, a Venezuelan migrant, said someone told him at the Woodlawn shelter just one day before that he had to leave by 2 p.m.
    Monday.

    “It was unbelievable. We have no stability,” said Romero, who was wearing
    a silver coat and black pants after he was forced out on a day with
    freezing temperatures and snow flurries.
