"Chicago Area Towns Tighten Regulations on Migrant Bus Arrivals Amid Growing Crisis"

Several Chicago suburbs have enacted restrictions to limit unscheduled migrant bus drop-offs from Texas, requiring advance notice and imposing fines for non-compliance. This response comes as cities like New York and Chicago face challenges with the influx of migrants bused from Texas to so-called "sanctuary cities." Local officials aim to manage resources and ensure proper processing of asylum seekers, while Texas Governor Greg Abbott's office reports over 90,000 migrants have been sent to various cities since April 2022. The surge at the border continues, with December seeing the highest monthly total of migrant encounters since 2000.
