Another bus of asylum-seeking migrants from Texas arrived in Chicago Wednesday, continuing a practice from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that has sent migrants arriving in Texas to Washington, D.C., New York City and Chicago. City officials said they are in communication with community organizations as well as state and county officials to provide emergency shelter and connection to necessary services. Under Chicago's 'Welcoming City Ordinance,' officials will not ask about immigration status, nor will it disclose that information to federal authorities.
