Texas begins flying migrants to sanctuary cities with first flight to Chicago
Fox News
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's office is now flying migrants to sanctuary cities, including Chicago, sources in his office tell Fox News – as the border crisis continues.
The decision was partially in response to Chicago’s interference of the buses traveling to the sanctuary city. The city has launched lawsuits against companies transporting the migrants. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

The move from Abbott is an escalation from the strategy in place since April 2022 when he began bussing migrants first to Washington, D.C., and later expanded it to include other cities with "sanctuary" policies that forbid or limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
