Texas Governor Sends Migrants on Chartered Flight to Chicago, Escalating Border Fight

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has escalated his fight against President Joe Biden's border policies by chartering a plane to fly migrants from Texas to Chicago. This comes after Chicago began impounding buses carrying migrants, citing a new ordinance. Abbott's office stated that the flight arrived in Chicago on Tuesday night with about 100 passengers who had signed consent forms. The city of Chicago is now working to find shelter for the asylum seekers. Abbott has previously bused over 75,500 migrants to six cities, causing political clashes and strained resources. The White House criticized Abbott's actions, accusing him of dehumanizing people and using them as political pawns.
