Tennessee is swamped, too

It’s not just New York City. Tennessee officials also have had to scramble to accommodate busloads of migrants getting dropped off without notice in Chattanooga, they told The Post Tuesday.

In a 48-hour period over the weekend, Chattanooga helped 51 immigrants that were aboard buses sent to the Big Apple by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

“A lot of folks are just lost,” said Ellis Smith, Chattanooga’s director of special projects.

Smith said four of the migrants that stopped in his city were picked up by family, while the rest headed for the airport for final destinations in Ohio, Chicago and Florida.
