The influx of migrants heading to Chicago has caused city leaders to request more federal assistance. Over 300 migrants arrived in Rockford and were bussed to Chicago, with additional buses dropping off migrants at suburban Metra stations. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Texas AG Ken Paxton criticized the Biden administration for the surge in migrants, with Paxton accusing the government of aiding cartels. Mayor Johnson pleaded for federal support, while Texas Governor Greg Abbott's actions drew criticism from Chicago officials. The situation has led to tensions between Democratic mayors and the Texas governor, as well as concerns about the impact on communities and national security.
