Lightfoot said Colorado 'must stop busing migrants to Chicago' in a Saturday letter to Gov. Jared Polis.
Around 36,400 asylum-seekers have gone through New York City’s emergency intake system in the last year, the letter said.
“The buses have arrived, without any regard to either city’s ability to appropriately shelter them,” they wrote. “Although we share the concerns of accommodating the flood of asylum-seekers, overburdening other cities is not the solution.” He did not immediately respond to the Tribune’s request for comment Saturday afternoon, though he has previously said busing helps migrants by getting them to their desired destinations.
