TL;DR Summary

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has chartered a private plane to transport approximately 100 migrants from El Paso to O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, as part of a new campaign that has turned the relocation of migrants into a "political football." The migrants, including families and children, are now stuck waiting at O'Hare, facing an uncertain future. Many of them spent their first day in Chicago sleeping on the floor of an old bus. While some migrants appreciate the opportunity for a better life, their growing numbers have become a concern for the city. U.S. representatives from Texas and Illinois have criticized Abbott's actions, calling them reckless and urging for better coordination between border and interior cities.
