Texas Sends Migrants to Chicago in Unprecedented Border Protest Move

Texas Governor Greg Abbott's busing operation, which has transported over 80,000 migrants to Democratic-led cities across the US since last year, escalated as a plane carrying more than 120 migrants was sent from the US-Mexico border to Chicago. This move comes after Chicago's city council took action against the busloads of migrants, drawing criticism from Mayor Brandon Johnson. Abbott's office accused Johnson of targeting migrant buses, while the White House criticized the flight and accused Abbott of using migrants for political gain. The multibillion-dollar operation, known as Operation Lone Star, has faced concerns about living conditions and medical care for asylum-seekers.
