Gov Abbott busses 100 to Chicago after forking out $12m on trips

Texas sent around 100 migrants to on Wednesday, as Governor Greg Abbott expands his effort to push responsibility for border crossers to his Democratic political opponents.

The buses arrived at Chicago's Union Station at around 7:30pm - after it was revealed that Texas has already spent $12million on taking migrants to New York City and Washington DC.

Among the 100 or so people who were on the buses, around 20 to 30 were small children. Pregnant women and children were among the busload. The migrants said they were from Venezuela.
