"Texas Relocates Over 350 Migrants to Chicago via Rockford Airport"

A plane chartered by Texas Governor Greg Abbott brought 350 migrants to Rockford, Illinois, who were then bused to Chicago, marking the second such incident in two weeks. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson criticized the lack of coordination and communication from Texas, calling for better planning and federal assistance to address the migrant crisis. The city of Chicago and several suburbs are responding with increased penalties for transport operators who drop off migrants without notice, as local officials seek to manage the unscheduled arrivals more effectively.
