Fox News Digital reported that a Texas-based bus company recently filed a lawsuit against Chicago over its “draconian” immigration deportation policies.
Wynn Transportation LLC accused “sanctuary cities” of turning their backs on asylum seekers.
In November, Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson issued new regulations impacting where and when bus companies can drop off immigrants, Blaze News previously reported.
Due to city regulations, there are only two buses per hour that can arrive between 8 a.m.
and 5 p.m.

Bus companies must notify and obtain approval from the city government before transporting people into the city.
Businesses that don’t comply with Mr Johnson’s order could be fined $3,000 and their buses could be confiscated.
In addition to adopting new rules, the city of Chicago has filed more than 50 lawsuits against bus companies that transport immigrants.
According to the complaint, 77 buses violated city policy.
On January 5, Wynne Transportation LLC fired back and filed suit against Chicago for declaratory judgment and injunction.

The company claimed the measure imposes “strict requirements and severe penalties.
