Brandon Johnson seeks financial help with migrant issue in meeting with Joe Biden.
Mayor Brandon Johnson visited the White House Thursday morning to sound the alarm on Chicago’s migrant crisis, in his first in-person meeting with President Joe Biden centered on the burgeoning asylum-seeker issue. Johnson’s spokesman Ronnie Reese confirmed the mayor sat down with Biden and his chief of staff Jeff Zients, White House senior adviser Tom Perez and other officials with the Department of Homeland Security to discuss Chicago’s need for additional federal relief.
Johnson’s trip followed a recent joint letter with the mayors of Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York urging the president to meet with them and secure more funding for their rapidly growing migrant populations. It was not clear how many of Johnson’s mayoral counterparts were there for the Thursday meeting with the president.
