Texas Sends Migrants to Chicago on Private Plane, Raising Concerns

Texas emergency management officials chartered a private plane and flew 91 migrants to Chicago, marking the first time a private plane has been used by the state to transport migrants to the city. The flight is seen as an attempt by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to undermine President Joe Biden's chances for reelection and divide Democratic voters. The migrants, who crossed the southern border and requested asylum, are now staying at O'Hare International Airport. Additionally, three buses paid for by Texas officials arrived in Chicago, with more expected to arrive. The influx of migrants has strained the city's resources and exacerbated tensions between different communities in Chicago.
