Another Chicagoland town received a busload of migrants with little notification from city or state officials on Saturday morning, according to town officials.
This isn't the first time that migrants were bused from Chicago to the city's suburbs.
"I’m glad that the American dream is still alive for a lot of people as it was for my grandparents when they came here and for most people that are in this country. So very happy for them," Grasso said."But unhappy that nobody from the city, from the state called and told me or my village administrator or any of our elected officials that this was happening.
Jordan Abudayyeh, press secretary for Pritzker, told WGN that it's interesting local officials are complaining about the issue of migrants being bused to suburbs.
