"Over 350 Texas Migrants Land in Rockford, Journey to Chicago Amidst Tensions"

TL;DR Summary
Texas has sent another plane of migrants to Rockford, IL, with the passengers then bused towards Chicago, a move criticized by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson as sowing "seeds of chaos." The migrants were transported without proper coordination with local governments, prompting Johnson to call for federal action and better intergovernmental cooperation. This incident is part of an ongoing dispute over Texas Governor Greg Abbott's strategy of relocating migrants to sanctuary cities, which has led to Chicago suing bus operators for uncoordinated drop-offs and has raised concerns about the safety and legality of the practice.
