Asylum seekers illegally crossing the border into Texas and then bused to Chicago are now being sent out to other communities.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott started busing migrants to Washington, New York, and then Chicago to protest the Biden administration’s immigration policies. As of last week, Texas has sent more than 300 illegal immigrants to Chicago and thousands to New York and Washington.
