Texas Transportation Company Sues Chicago Over Migrant Transport Penalties

Wynne Transportation alleges Chicago's penalties on buses transporting migrants amount to federal immigration policy, amidst a larger battle over immigration and asylum-seekers.

• Texas-based Wynne Transportation has filed a lawsuit against the city of Chicago over penalties imposed on buses transporting migrants from Texas to Chicago.
• The lawsuit alleges that Chicago's penalties, which include fines and possible seizure of vehicles, amount to immigration policy, which is under the authority of the federal government.
• Since 2022, Texas has sent over 100,000 migrants to Democrat-led 'sanctuary cities' like Chicago, New York, and Denver via bus and plane.
• Chicago has imposed rules requiring buses to drop off migrants during specific hours in a designated 'landing zone', leading to over 90 suits filed against Wynne's subcontractors.
• Chicago, along with other cities, has been struggling to manage the influx of migrants, with city leaders calling for federal help.
