Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot declared a state of emergency after thousands of migrants are arriving in the city from the southern border.
On Tuesday, 48 migrants were “inhumanely” bused in by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, according to a press release from Lightfoot’s office. According to the mayor, the city’s resources are at a “breaking point” after the city is sheltering more than 8,000 migrants.
“We should all understand that this crisis will likely deepen before we see it get better, so as we move forward, the City of Chicago will have to bring additional locations online to prepare for the arrival of more individuals and families and to relieve Chicago Police Department districts,” Lightfoot’s office said.
