Pritzker begs Abbott to stop sending migrants into Chicago cold: ‘I plead with you for mercy’

CHICAGO, Ill. (WTVO) — With Chicago’s temperatures about to plunge below zero, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent a letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday, asking him to stop sending migrants to the city. 

“While action is pending at the federal level, I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves. Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people’s lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state,” Pritzker said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
