Chicago officials are preparing for an influx of asylum seekers ahead of the Democratic National Convention after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to continue sending “buses of illegal immigrants” to sanctuary cities. On Tuesday, Chicago Deputy Mayor of Immigration Beatriz Ponce De Leon told reporters her city is bracing for 25,000 new migrant arrivals from Texas ahead of the DNC, according to the Chicago Tribune. The convention is being held Aug. 19-22 at the Windy City’s United Center.
