Gov. J.B. Pritzker is signing a disaster proclamation to secure resources for the asylum seekers bused to Illinois from Texas and has deployed 75 National Guard members to assist with the logistics of receiving the migrants, he announced Wednesday. Pritzker again criticized his Texas counterpart, Gov. Greg Abbott, for failing to coordinate or communicate with Illinois and Chicago officials and questioned why he’s only sending migrants to politically “blue” cities and states. “What the governor of Texas is doing is a stunt,” Pritzker said, ” ... dumping these human beings off in the dead of night.” Pritzker noted the migrants are in the country legally and that many trekked for weeks to make it to the U.S. border to escape oppression and persecution. Among the latest group of migrants to arrive from Texas were more than 100 people who disembarked at Union Station from two buses Friday. The group was at least the fourth round of asylum-seeking migrants in the past two weeks to arrive from Texas, part of Abbott's practice to bus migrants who arrive at the Texas-Mexico border to northern cities, which have also included New York and Washington, D.C.
