Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson accused Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) of "attacking our country" as the governor continues to bus illegal immigrants that come across the border to sanctuary cities such as Chicago.
"The issue is not just how we respond in the city of Chicago. It's the fact that we have a governor, a governor, an elected official in the state of Texas that is placing families on buses without shoes, cold, wet, tired, hungry, afraid, traumatized," Johnson said.
