Rosemont to crack down on Texas bus companies carrying migrants

Rosemont could cite and fine bus companies from Texas, impound their vehicles and arrest drivers for dropping off migrants in town, under an ordinance approved Monday.

The new rules — which are similar to ones in Cicero and tighter penalties being considered by the Chicago City Council this week — come after about half a dozen buses started bringing asylum-seekers to Rosemont on Dec. 6.
