CHICAGO — Seventy-five migrants who arrived in Texas were dropped off at Chicago’s Union Station on Wednesday night, officials said.
Ryan Johnson, a representative for Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot, confirmed the information.
“Chicago is a welcoming city and as such has collaborated across various departments and agencies to ensure we greeted them with dignity and respect,” said Johnson in a tweet. “We understand that many are fleeing violent, traumatic, or otherwise unstable environments,” he added in an attached statement.
