Chicago's O'Hare Airport Overwhelmed by Migrant Influx

The number of migrants staying at O'Hare Airport in Chicago has more than doubled in a week, with over 800 migrants currently there. The city is struggling to find space in its shelters for the new arrivals, as buses and planes continue to bring migrants to Chicago. The increase in migrants is primarily due to the actions of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's administration. Many of the migrants are from Venezuela, seeking refuge from political upheaval and economic crisis. The conditions at O'Hare have been difficult, but volunteers have been providing support. The Biden administration announced the resumption of deportation flights to Venezuela while working on expanding legal pathways for asylum seekers. The city is considering asking for assistance from the National Guard.
