"Texas Governor Increases Migrant Flights to Chicago as Aldermen Seek Federal Assistance"
Chicago politicians, including Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez and U.S. Representative Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, are calling on President Joe Biden for more federal funding as Texas sends a plane carrying over 100 asylum-seekers to O'Hare Airport. The Latino Caucus in Chicago has criticized the move, with Governor Greg Abbott defending it as relief for overwhelmed Texas border towns. Last week, Chicago began impounding and citing buses that violated designated drop-off zones. The situation has sparked controversy and concerns about the treatment and well-being of migrants.
