Chicago should take ownership of the chartered jets, since they're being used in a crime. They impounded the buses. The federal govt should get involved, follow the money, and arrest some folks. And send all border and migrant funds to these cities.

Any day now Biden's DoJ is going to do something. anything. anything at all. Same with Trump. Any. Day. Now.
They impounded the buses.
I'm glad to hear this.
They only impounded buses which didn’t follow the rules of dropping them off at certain places and times. Not all buses.
Ah yes, human trafficking is fine as long as they follow the rules.
Aww. Too bad.
What's a plane but just a flying bus? And they did conficate busses.
Fantastic. Let’s move entire jailed population from blue states and release them on the streets of Bumblefuck, TX. Especially the ones who committed violent crimes. That will be fun
That's inhumane and a violation of those prisoners' rights under the eighth amendment. Sending a person to Texas may be considered infliction of a cruel and unusual punishment.
At least the prison would have working electric.
That one could be either a pro or con depending on the details of their sentence.
How is this legal, and why is nobody trying to stop it?
It is literally human trafficking and abetting a crime but democrats are too pussy to do anything about it
I'm no lawyer/judge and I didn't even stay in a Holiday Inn last night. Disclaimer complete.
This is not legal. It's a performance that uses real, live human men, women and children as the scenery and props. They're counting on the short-term gain from the headlines reaching their bigot base to secure the next win. If challenged, their mental gymnasts might trot out a flimsy argument or two about how it's a state issue instead of federal (even though it's clearly not) or something along those lines. I'll be pleasantly surprised if this gets tested in court eventually but am not holding my breath.
This should be stopped but that alone isn't enough. These unpatriotic, anti-American red state politicians with no respect for the Constitution must be removed from all positions of power and influence before they do more damage domestically and abroad.
They need to be thrown in jail or executed as the traitorous terrorists they are.
Some belong in jail, some deserve other penalties. Barred from public office at least in a lot of cases and whatever other consequences they might face from professional organizations, licensing bodies, etc. with standards for ethical conduct.
It’s okay as long as they sign waivers they can’t understand completely /s
Dems haven't dont anything on immigration other than telling border camps to stop purposefully seperating families. The camps and treatment haven't changed. The border is still controlled by the same organizations staffed by the same people.
Laws are for poor people.
Again, human trafficking, anyone? Can we please jail those that order this bullshit?
Human trafficking laws, anyone?
Texas Republicans are engaged in a criminal conspiracy to traffick human beings across state lines for political gain. Lock them up.
As long as that's where the migrants are intending to go than thank you Texas
Can we employ them to print “I wasn’t born in Texas and I got out as soon as I could” stickers?
waste of money on bullshit theatrics.
Everything North of the Panama canal should have freedom of movement.
Oh no, exporting cheap labor whose tax returns go unclaimed! The horror!
Leave it to conservatives to shoot themselves in the foot. They're literally doing Chicago a favor.
