Colorado Gov. Jared Polis will halt plans to bus migrants to New York City and Chicago, citing productive conversations with mayors in both cities.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot had complained about the program. They said many of the migrants had no ties to their cities and city agencies had no capacity to care for them.
Mr. Polis, a fellow Democrat, defended his work to help migrants get where they wanted to go but said there would be no more buses to Chicago and he wouldn’t send more charters to New York after the last one arrived over the weekend.
