Chicago Mayor Sues Bus Companies Amid Immigrant Influx

Suburbs reject immigrants, Johnson's tent shelter plan on hold, churches step in to provide shelter.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has filed 55 lawsuits against bus companies for violating new rules regarding the transportation of immigrants.
Several Chicago suburbs have rejected busloads of immigrants arriving from Texas, with some implementing fines and ordinances to deter the influx.
Johnson's plan to relocate immigrants to tent shelters is on pause due to environmental concerns at the proposed site.
Chicago continues to accept busloads of immigrants, but is suing bus companies and seeking the ability to impound buses and fine owners if they don’t follow the city's rules.
Despite the challenges, 17 churches are opening their doors to house and feed immigrants, funded by private donations.
