Chicago Mayor Urges Texas Governor to Halt Migrant Shipments

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has urged Texas Governor Greg Abbott to stop sending busloads of migrants to the city, citing a lack of resources to accommodate them. Lightfoot complained that some migrants have arrived in dire need of food, water, and clothing and echoed criticism that these migrants are being used as political pawns. The transporting of migrants from the Southwest to cities led by Democrats has become a hot button issue, with officials in border states blaming the Biden administration for the influx of migrants. Lightfoot is set to leave office in May.
