Mayor Brandon Johnson appeared on CNN Wednesday morning, renewing his call for more resources for the migrant crisis in Chicago and across the country plus greater cooperation among elected officials after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s latest moves to skirt city rules for migrant buses.

The appearance comes just 10 days after a migrant child staying at a city shelter died. Johnson took the opportunity on national television to take shots at Abbott for his “reckless” handling of migrants arriving in that state.
