A Rosemont community service officer was posted outside the Metra station after migrants were dropped off there last week.
Rosemont could cite and fine bus companies from Texas, impound their vehicles and arrest drivers for dropping off migrants in town, under an ordinance approved Monday.
The new rules — which are similar to ones in Cicero and tighter penalties being considered by the Chicago City Council this week — come after about half a dozen buses started bringing asylum-seekers to Rosemont on Dec. 6.
Each bus had about 40 to 50 people, who were being let off in front of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, the Metra Rosemont station on Balmoral Avenue and the Metra O’Hare transfer station on Zemke Boulevard on airport property next to Rosemont.
