Pritzker urges Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to stop migrant drop-offs in winter storm: ‘I plead with you for mercy’
Chicago Sun Times

Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday sent Texas Gov. Greg Abbott a sweeping letter about the ongoing migrant crisis, urging him to halt drop-offs during a dangerous winter storm.

“While action is pending at the federal level, I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves,” Pritzker said in the letter. “Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people’s lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state.”

Pritzker wrote that sending migrants to Chicago this weekend — when temperatures are expected to reach dangerously low temperatures after several inches of snowfall — will potentially cost lives. Wind chill values are expected to dip to minus 17 degrees Saturday night.

2. Abbot's a sociopath.

Mercy is a concept he doesn’t comprehend.

3. Has killer Abbott responded?

4. I bet some Federal laws could be found serviceable if Texas killed some folk

by sending them interstate into a blizzard and dumping them off

5. Indeed

I think it's about time the federal government intervened directly.
And not just punishing Abbott (though that too of course).

6. Abbott: "ROFLOL"

7. I don't know what's worse - begging ABBUTT for mercy or believing ABBUTT might have any.
