Biden-era migrant crisis blowing holes through budgets of liberal, sanctuary cities

Chicago, along with New York City, are facing significant costs that are blowing holes in their budgets due to the ongoing migrant crises they are facing.

NBC Chicago reported that at least $200 million stems from costs from special project costs — including migrant care. The outlet reported that recent estimates suggest the crisis is projected to cost more than $255 million by the end of the year.

Chicago is a "sanctuary" city, meaning that it bars local and state law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Such jurisdictions will typically be associated with a more welcoming attitude to those in the country illegally beyond the restriction on law enforcement.
