A charter bus company hired by the state of Texas to transport migrants to Chicago is trying to flip the script on the border crisis in a federal lawsuit against the city alleging that its ordinance banning unannounced migrant drop-offs is unconstitutional and punishes transportation companies working with Texas, court documents show.

Wynne Transportation LLC is fighting new restrictions in Chicago against buses dropping off one-way passengers without prior notice.

The ordinance does not specifically mention immigration, but city leaders have acknowledged it is in response to the influx of more than 30,000 migrants arriving from Texas on government-contracted charter buses, often dropped off on street corners with little or no notice.

What does it mean that Chicago is a Sanctuary City?


Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance means that the City will not ask about your immigration
status, disclose that information to authorities, or, most importantly, deny you City services
based on your immigration status.


Why does Chicago choose not to partner with Immigrations Customs Enforcement to
deport undocumented individuals?


Partnering with ICE would go against our mission to make Chicago the most immigrant friendly
city in the country
and turn ours into a community of fear for immigrants. Furthermore,
enforcing immigration law would take away needed resources and time from the Chicago Police
Department. The Welcoming City Ordinance in fact helps CPD combat crime by allowing all
victims to call the police and all witnesses to come forward without fear of being caught and
deported

If you look carefully at the picture, you can see hypocrisy standing the corner giving the dems a slow clap.
