Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) is now flying illegal immigrants to sanctuary states.
The first flight of 120 migrants headed to Chicago, Illinois.
“They say all migrants signed voluntary waivers as they do with buses, more flights are being planned, and that any sanctuary city is ‘fair game,’ as TX continues to deal with a massive influx of illegal crossings this week,” reported Fox News’ Bill Melugin.

Governor Abbott previously bused thousands of illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities.
At the beginning of December, Abbott announced his plans to send 12,500 migrants to Washington, D.C., 25,000 to New York City, 20,000 to Chicago, 3,200 to Philadelphia, 7,400 to Denver, and 1,100 to Los Angeles.
Two Chicago suburbs rejected busloads of immigrants that arrived from El Paso, Texas.
After buses arrived at a public transportation station, Rosemont police allowed the immigrants to get off the bus if they had someone picking them up, but officers threatened to impound the bus and arrest the driver for endangering the passengers.
