A bus carrying migrants from a Texas border city arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, July 1, for the second time in less than three weeks. The group of asylum seekers from Brownsville, Texas, were hosted and processed at the church, according to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles , the largest immigrant rights organization in California.
The office of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was not formally notified but became aware on Friday of the bus dispatched from Brownsville, Texas, to L.A. Union Station, Bass spokesperson Zach Seidl said in a statement. "The City of Los Angeles believes in treating everyone with respect and dignity and will do so," he said.
The bus arrived around 12:40 p.m., and the 41 asylum-seekers on board were welcomed by a collective of faith and immigrant rights groups. Eleven children were on the bus, according to a statement by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.
