The mayors of New York, Chicago, and Denver are contending with a surge of migrants, with thousands being dropped off by buses from Texas, leading to a requirement for bus operators to coordinate arrivals. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has called for reparations as a means to reduce violent crime and is seeking more federal aid to accommodate the increased numbers, as over 355 migrants arrived in Rockford and were bussed to Chicago, with additional migrants dropped at suburban Metra stations including Wheeling, West Chicago, Wheaton, and Glen Ellen. Detroit residents have been asked to house migrants amidst the escalating situation. Mayor Johnson has decried the transfer of migrants from border communities to sanctuary cities as divisive and has pulled the race card in the handling of the crisis. Meanwhile, Republicans criticize President Biden for vacationing during the worsening border crisis. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has sent migrants to Chicago twice in two weeks, intensifying calls from sanctuary city mayors for more federal assistance. Approximately 400 migrants arrived in New Jersey after NYC slowed the pace of migrant-filled charter buses, with some being processed at the Secaucus train station.
