Chicago Mayor declares state of emergency over influx of illegal migrants.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has declared a state of emergency due to the significant number of people arriving in the city seeking asylum in the US, calling it a "national humanitarian crisis." The move comes as the US prepares for the expiration of a public health rule, called Title 42, which has allowed the federal government to restrict the number of migrants seeking asylum into the country. Lightfoot has criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for the approach to the crisis and called on the federal government to expedite the process of legally allowing migrants to work in the US.
