As more buses of migrants continue to arrive in Chicago from the state of Texas, Illinois officials say that a lack of cooperation from their counterparts in the Lone Star State has made a challenging process even more difficult.
More buses of migrants arrived in the city on Saturday, part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s ongoing policy to send border-crossers to so-called “sanctuary cities,” which include New York, Washington, D.C. and Chicago.
Abbott says that the policy was put in place to ease the burden on Texas taxpayers, but the actions have sparked strong reaction from officials in Illinois in recent days. “The lack of information and cooperation from the state of Texas has made it incredibly challenging, however, we remain fully committed to assisting each individual, providing human services and connecting them with family and friends while here in the city of Chicago, Cook County and across Illinois during this transition,” officials said in a statement.
