WATCH: LoriLightfoot announces DC trip as busloads of migrants head to Chicago
"I'm going to Washington later this week and going to be sitting down with some of the folks to describe for them what the conditions are on the ground here in Chicago, but also make sure that federal help is coming. Not just to Chicago, but in all the cities and states that are welcoming ... to make sure we have the resources we need," Lightfoot told reporters at a news conference Tuesday.
Lightfoot will head to D.C. this week to discuss the situation, @marialeaf reports. https://t.co/wyGefnns8y pic.twitter.com/eo6eQnF5JS"I'd have a long list of things on my agenda, but I've been speaking to him publicly about: Let's just treat each other with respect, let's treat the people who are traveling across our country with respect," Lightfoot said.
Abbott tweeted late Monday,"Mayor Lightfoot is attacking Texas instead of addressing the real cause of the border crisis: Joe Biden. His inaction at our border is putting the lives of Texans at risk & is overwhelming our communities. Texas is doing Biden's job to secure the border."
