The Elk Grove mayor said he was given little notice that 90 migrants bused to Chicago from Texas were arriving in the village.
Elk Grove Village officials said state officials informed them at 1:30 p.m. Friday that those migrants would arrive in their community by bus that afternoon. But that arrival was delayed until Saturday after village officials said they tried "to gain a better understanding of the situation" from local, county, state and federal agencies.
The new arrivals will be dropped off at the local La Quinta Hotel, where some will stay indefinitely, village officials said.
