The bus of families brings the total of people bused here to 125.
Now those people begin a transition into their new lives in the city, as the mayor is preparing to accept even more people in the coming weeks. Chicago plans to support the families, kids and adults who arrived in the city Sunday. Another bus of migrants was also sent in the last week.
"Migrants who are coming here to our city are well received," Lightfoot said."They have food, clothing, shelter, medical care if necessary." "He's manufacturing a human crisis, and it makes no sense to me," she said. "There could be a level of coordination and cooperation, but he chooses to do none of those things and instead tries to send human beings not cargo freight but human beings across the country to an uncertain destination.
CBS 2 reached out to Abbott with no response Sunday. Lightfoot said she had not heard from him at all. Abbott did tweet Sunday morning about sending more migrants to the city, adding that"Texas will continue providing relief to our small, overrun border towns by busing migrants to sanctuary cities that boast services to care for them."
Meanwhile the work and welcome in Chicago continues. The city will cover some of the bill, though much of it will fall on area nonprofits.
