Over the weekend, several CTA busses took migrants who'd been bussed from Texas to Chicago out to a hotel in Elk Grove Village.Since August 31, the city of Chicago has received more than 360 migrants sent here from the southern border by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
The confusion and frustration that followed has prompted some promises of better coordination in the future, but now Texas' governor is ramping up the war of words with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.The La Quinta Inn in Elk Grove Village is now the temporary home for about 90 migrants who arrived here on Saturday after a long bus ride from Texas to Chicago.
Elk Grove Mayor Craig Johnson said initially the village was caught off guard and given very little information from the state. Johnson said Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot called to apologize on Sunday for the lack of communication, saying the state was in charge. The two agreed to coordinate in the future.On Monday, Governor Pritzker said the state gave notice as quickly as possible as agencies scrambled to find shelter for the migrants that they got no notice about.
