"Mayors Targeted and Budgets Strained as Migrants Arrive in US Cities"
New York City Mayor Eric Adams accuses Texas Governor Greg Abbott of targeting "Black mayors" with his bussing program for migrants. Adams denies calling Abbott's policy "racist" but suggests Americans should "look at the facts." Abbott's office responds by saying the migrants chose for themselves which city to travel to after being processed through the federal immigration system. Abbott argues that his bussing program exists to force Democratic leaders to confront the realities of the border crisis. Outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot also pleaded with Abbott to halt the bussing program on Monday.
