'With these continued political stunts, Governor Abbott has confirmed, what unfortunately many of us had already known – that he is a man without any morals, humanity or shame,' said Lightfoot at a press conference on Thursday. Seventy-nine Venezuelans arrived at Chicago's Union Station late on Wednesday, officials said. 'Last night, we showed our mettle, the best of who we are,' Lightfoot continued, praising the city's effort to welcome the new arrivals.
