Abbott’s misappropriating our taxes.

Texas has spent more than $12 million sending busloads of migrants to East Coast cities, according to the Texas Division of Emergency Management. And on Wednesday, Gov. Greg Abbott’s office announced that it had begun busing migrants to Chicago.

Documents from the emergency management department show that the state has already paid a total of $12,707,720.92 to Wynne Transportation to bus thousands of migrants from Texas border communities to Washington, D.C., and New York City, CNN first reported.

A department spokesperson confirmed the total to The Texas Tribune on Wednesday.
