Lights shut off during immigration chaos at Chicago City Council special meeting

A special Chicago City Council meeting led to some chaos as the council members met to vote on a possible referendum on the city's status as a Sanctuary City.

[@AnotherJonDoe]

Where is Brandon today? Oh! He is in DC, trying to get MORE money so that this madness CONTINUES!

We were a sanctuary city until we actually received some migrants and then . . . eh, NOT.

Virtue signaling is the Democratic way.

[@sarbantz]

The city of Chicago needs to get its act together and provide permanent humane housing for the migrants. I know they will figure it out, they just need several more weeks. I believe in the Mayor Brandon leadership, so just keep sending migrants to Chicago and ignore stories like this. There is always room for more. More the merrier.

Texas border cities are getting Federal funds, so EVERY sanctuary city who are dealing with illegal immigrants should get the same federal funding. NO ONE could foresee that almost 40 years later there would be an invasion of illegal immigrants! With all the money wasted already, they could have bought each one a one way plane ticket back to their home country. Definitely much cheaper than housing and feeding them for years! 😔
