Texas Governor Accused of Creating Chaos by Sending Migrants to Sanctuary Cities

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson criticizes lack of coordination and calls for federal support as city struggles with influx of migrants.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been sending illegal immigrants from Texas to sanctuary cities, including Chicago, without prior communication or coordination, causing chaos and straining local resources.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has criticized Abbott's actions, describing them as a 'dangerous task' and a threat to national security.
Texas has transported over 90,000 migrants to sanctuary cities since April 2022, with over 28,000 arriving in Chicago since August 2022.
Chicago and Denver mayors have called for more federal support and better coordination to manage the influx of migrants.
Chicago has begun impounding and towing buses after passing a city ordinance to contend with 'rogue buses' from Texas dropping off migrants throughout the city.
