Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot sparked outrage after deciding to move 64 migrants on a bus who were originally sent to the Windy City from Texas - on Gov. Greg Abbott's wishes - to a neighboring suburb. On Wednesday, 147 migrants were arrived in Chicago, city officials told . A little less than half of them, however, were taken to a Hampton Inn hotel in Burr Ridge - 20 miles southwest from downtown - where they will be housed for at least the next 30 days. Republican Mayor of Burr Ridge, Gary Grasso, directed his anger at Lightfoot and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for using the migrants as 'political pawns.' Most of them come from South American countries, including Peru and Colombia.
