CHICAGO — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced a disaster proclamation to help get resources and support for asylum seekers that arrived in Chicago from Texas.
On Wednesday, the governor was joined by Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle to give an update on the migrants that arrived in the city via buses.
The governor also activated about 75 members of the Illinois National Guard. He said the proclamation will ensure that the state is prepared to meet the needs of the more than 500 migrants who have arrived.
Pritzker says more buses continue to arrive daily.
“Let me be clear: while other states may be treating these vulnerable families as pawns, here in Illinois, we are treating them as people,” the governor said in a statement.
