PUERTO RICO
2015 - 2019Adriana Cardona-Maguigad was a reporter in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood when she started noticing a lot of homeless men in the area. She asked one after another: Where are you from? She heard the same story again and again. They were from Puerto Rico, and they were addicted to drugs, sent to Chicago to get help in treatment centers. They found none of that, and ended up on the streets. And then they told her something even stranger. Many of the men said they’d been sent to Chicago by police or other officials in Puerto Rico.
