In a bold and controversial move, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken his policy of transporting migrants to sanctuary cities to a whole new level. This time, he has chartered flights to send migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border to Chicago. On Tuesday, approximately 120 asylum seekers were flown from El Paso, Texas, to the Windy City, as confirmed by a statement from Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
It is reported that upon boarding the flight, the migrants signed a voluntary consent waiver, although this detail could not be independently confirmed. This latest action by Governor Abbott has drawn sharp criticism from the White House and state officials, who label it as a mere political stunt aimed at causing chaos and exploiting political divisions for personal gain.
