CHICAGO (CBS) – The mayors of three of the biggest cities in the country – including Chicago – met Wednesday to discuss the migrant crisis each is
facing.

As CBS 2's Marybel González reported, Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday
said Chicago is almost at capacity with migrants, even as more asylum
seekers were making their way to the suburbs and other towns and villages
in the area.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston both said
they will take a page from Chicago's book, as the leaders of those cities likewise said they are at a tipping point.

Not only are they running out of housing and resources, but they are still dealing with unannounced buses arriving every single day – and more
expected to come.

"All of our cities have reached a point where we are either close to
capacity, or nearly out of room," said Mayor Johnson.

All three cities' mayors issued a call to action to the White House.

"Without significant intervention from the federal government, this
mission will not be sustained," Johnson said Wednesday.

As of Wednesday, Chicago has received more than 26,000 asylum seekers. At
least 10 buses of additional migrants were expected to arrive on
Wednesday. Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications
(OEMC) said at least three buses arrived in the suburbs on Tuesday.

Even as the city is nearing capacity, migrants continue to make their way
via buses onto Metra trains and into the city. Chicago counted at least 19 buses, that officials know of.

"We've received migrants in the middle of the night with little to no coordination," Johnson said.

Mayor Johnson met virtually with mayors Adams and Johnston – as they
addressed what they call a "humanitarian crisis." Thousands of migrants
are arriving in all their cities - adding more strain to their resources
and housing.

"We, at this point now, have had more migrant arrivals in our city than
any city in America per capita," said Mayor Johnston of Denver.

"We cannot continue to do the federal government's job," said Mayor Adams
of New York.

With buses continuing to arrive without notice, Adams announced has
announced an executive order for New York City – following the city of Chicago's lead. Earlier this month, the City Council in Chicago began
cracking down on buses that fail to notify the city of where and when they
will drop people off – with fines and impoundment of the buses as
penalties.

"Based on observations of what we saw in Chicago, we are duplicating some
of the best practices we've seen in other municipalities," Adams said.
"These chartered buses arrive only between 8:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. Monday
through Friday, and to only drop off passengers at one spot unless
directed otherwise."

Those who violate the order in New York City will face fines, lawsuits, or impoundment of the buses.

Johnston said Denver also has a similar order in place.

"To be clear, this is not stopping people from coming, but about ensuring
the safety of migrants - and making sure they can arrive in a coordinated
and orderly way," said Mayor Adams.

The three mayors are calling for more federal founding, for expedited work permits to get the migrants out of shelters more quickly, and more
coordination at the southern border.

Back in Chicago, despite the ordinance cracking down, the city is still
seeing rogue buses.

CBS 2 called around and asked local suburban communities how many asylum seekers they've received.

Buses have stopped as far as Kankakee, about 50 miles south of Chicago.
Other communities like Fox River Grove, Elmhurst, Aurora, Naperville,
Lockport, and University Park also reported receiving buses. By CBS 2's
tally, there have been at least 28 buses that have dropped migrants off in suburban communities.

As CBS 2's Sabrina Franza reported, Mayor Johnson on Wednesday also met
with leaders in other Illinois suburbs and towns to connect with those who
are receiving migrants they were not expecting. He said buses were
"literally dropping families off in the middle of nowhere."

"I don't think anyone was prepared for the enormity," said Elizabeth
Scott, the village manager of south suburban University Park.

Scott reported that at least 15 buses have stopped in her village since
Friday. About 130 families decided to stay in University Park.

"We're trying to absorb as many as we can, however being a small
community, we just don't have all the resources that we need," she said.

One bus actually dropped people off in the middle of a cornfield.

"They're walking down the street," Scott said. "Toddlers with no coats."

Even though the city anticipated about 10 buses arriving on Wednesday, no
one know where they'll stop.

"By the time we get word, it's really us at that point trying to be
reactive instead of proactive," Scott said.
