Since the first bus arrived in Chicago on Aug. 31, the city has accepted 3,684 migrants from the Texas border.
The busing of migrants is part of a controversial policy from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott known as"Operation Lone Star," which has also sent migrants to New York City and Washington, D.C.
Additionally, Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida, has flown asylum-seeking migrants arriving in Florida to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, an island known as a summer vacation spot.According to Abbott, the latest bus is the 300th bus to arrive in Chicago since late August.As Biden does nothing, Texas will continue taking unprecedented action to relieve our overwhelmed border communities & secure the border.
"Illinois is a welcoming state. We are committed to assisting each family and individual, providing human services with respect and dignity. We expect more arrivals to be welcomed and the City will continue to provide daily updates on those arrivals," city spokesperson Joseph Dutra said. Dutra added that upon arrival, migrants are provided immediate shelter and support with in-depth case management and connections to city and community-based services and agencies.
