Migrants sent by Texas governor to sanctuary cities arrive in Chicago

A group of migrants shipped out to sanctuary cities on buses arrived in Chicago last night as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's plan to send undocumented immigrants into Democrat-led cities.

"This is not new: Chicago welcomes hundreds of migrants every year to our city and provides much-needed assistance."
