Friday is the move-out deadline based on a court order at the South Shore apartment that made national headlines earlier this year after it was raided by federal immigration agents.

The building, at 75th and South Shore, is now in foreclosure.

Residents went to court this week to try to avoid Friday's deadline, which comes on the cusp of extremely cold weather and the holidays. The tenants formed a union to protest their immediate removal or at least delay it. 

 A judge called it a "fire trap" and approved an emergency eviction request from the building's owner with a move-out deadline of December 12.   

Tenants say they don't have enough time, money, or help to find new places to live.  

Residents say they were offered between $1,500 to $5,000 to help with their moves, but some are having trouble finding places that are affordable or even available.

"Most of them are just hotline numbers that you're gonna sit on the phone with for an hour or so," Darren Hightower said. "Trying to find relocation, get a case manager to help you out with your situation. It's tough." 

Mayor Brandon Johnson sent a letter requesting a delay to the eviction deadline. A judge disagreed. 

By the end of the afternoon, fewer than 10 tenants remains at the property and some, if not all, handed over their keys.

"This is the worst day of my life right now. Worst day of my life," said resident Winifred Johnson.

Johnson, a veteran, has lived at the building for the past give months. Now he's been forced to move out.

"I don't have nowhere to go. I need some kind of resources or some help because it's going to really be freezing tomorrow. That's the main thing, just try to get somewhere where we can be warm and safe at," he said.

The Department of Family and Support Services' Homeless Outreach and Prevention said they were on site to offer shelter to any residents that may be interested.

Rochelle Connor recently moved out and came back to help others.

"It sits very heavy on my heart to know that a lot of older people that were in the building, in wheelchairs and things like that; they didn't have family like other people have family to come and help them and stuff. It was pretty sad," she said.

"Most of the residents who have moved out say they're staying with family, but others, like Johnson, aren't sure where their bed will be the next few nights.

Federal immigration agents raid on September 30

Federal agents detained 37 people in the raid on September 30, which the feds called a targeted immigration enforcement operation.

CBS News Chicago got a glimpse of living conditions inside the building after the raid. Crews spotted busted doors, hallways with no lights on, and puddles of water on the floor.

One man told CBS New Chicago his boyfriend was ziptied and taken onto a bus. Other reports said women and children appeared to be some of the people led away by federal agents and taken into vans staged in a parking lot near a school. 

Law enforcement sources said that what happened is protocol to briefly detain everyone in a large building to keep everyone safe during a mission.

Residents who live inside the building said they were shocked by how they were treated.
