Texas Governor Greg Abbott Accused of Targeting Cities with Black Leadership by Busing Migrants
- New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Texas Governor Greg Abbott targeted cities with Black mayors by sending busloads of migrants.
- Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot pleaded with Abbott to stop sending migrants to Chicago, saying the city lacked resources.
- Abbott’s office said migrants chose which cities to go to, and Abbott aims to force Democratic leaders to address the border crisis.
- The Biden administration will send troops to the border as officials expect more migrants with the end of Title 42 expulsions.
- Critics argue Democratic policies and rhetoric — not Abbott — led to struggles in cities now receiving migrants.
