Gov. Pritzker issues disaster proclamation to assist migrants bused in from Texas
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker issued an emergency disaster proclamation Wednesday in reaction to the influx of migrants being sent from the southern border.
The proclamation allows the state to provide logistical support as migrants continue to arrive daily, according to the governor's office.
Currently, there have been more than 500 migrants who have arrived in the state with more on the way, according to Pritzker.
Chicago received a fifth round of migrants from the southern border Tuesday afternoon.
Along with the proclamation, Pritzker announced the activation of around 75 members of the Illinois National Guard to help migrants as they arrive.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been sending migrants to cities across the US.
"This is all a political game for Governor Abbott and frankly, it's cruel," Pritzker has said.
