Social media users tore into Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after he complained about Gov. Greg Abbott flying illegal immigrants into his city without warning him.
Johnson took to the X platform on Sunday to lament the fact that a plane from San Antonio had brought in hundreds of U.S. Southern Border crossers without his knowledge.
The mayor's posts were met with conservative users mocking him for not being more welcoming, as the city’s government has proclaimed Chicago to be a "sanctuary city."
The mayor wrote, "This morning just after 1 a.m., a private Boeing 777 originating from San Antonio, Texas landed at the Rockford/Chicago airport carrying 350 asylum seekers. There was no communication from Texas, and the City of Chicago was alerted by authorities in Rockford regarding the flight."
In a subsequent post, he added, "Upon landing, asylum seekers were placed on buses chartered by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and dropped in various surrounding suburbs, left to find their way to the city. This is the second recorded instance of the Texas governor transporting asylum seekers via private plane."
The posts did not seem to generate much sympathy on the Chicago government’s behalf. Multiple users told Johnson to complain about the Democratic Party and President Biden’s border policies rather than Texas and other border states, which saw the highest monthly number of illegal southern border crossings in history.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, replied to Johnson, writing, "You need @JoeBiden’s phone number? I am sure one of your Democrat U.S. Senators or Congress-critters has it."
Political strategist Logan Dobson ripped the mayor, writing, "You received exactly as much communication and warning of their arrival as Texas did. If you have a problem, take it up with the federal government, headed by the president of your party."

Hey...
They’re tired of walking.
A ride anywhere is a welcome
relief. /s
Very convenient flying into ohare. Jump off the plane and catch the subway to downtown.
Exactly! Cheap Labor Uber Alles.
Abbott flew them to Rockford which is about 90 miles from downtown. The Mayor of Rockford had them held on the plane until he could load them on busses. The County Sheriff then escorted those busses straight into I-90 until they reached the County line.
Then the McHenry County Sheriff did the same thing. I believe that happened all the way to the Cook County line.
It was an epic troll of that idiot Johnson.
L
The Republicans are complicit.
