Chicago mayor slams New York’s Eric Adams over migration remarks

Brandon Johnson took a drastically different approach than his counterpart to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in their cities

Chicago's mayor, Brandon Johnson, has attacked his New York counterpart, Eric Adams, for the latter's aggressive comments that the large number of migrants arriving from the US-Mexico border will destroy" his city.

The two Democrats took sharply contrasting stances earlier this week on their handling of the humanitarian crisis aggravated since the far-right Texas governor, Greg Abbott, has been unilaterally bussing migrants to Democratic-led cities over the last year.
