The passengers included 41 migrants who made the trip from Brownsville, Texas, according to a statement from The L.A. Welcomes Collective.
A second bus filled with migrants from Texas rolled into Union Station on Saturday afternoon, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass confirmed, adding that the group shipped to the state as a political stunt was greeted by a coalition of government employees and humanitarian aid workers.
The statement added: “The City of Los Angeles believes in treating everyone with respect and dignity and will do so.” “Independent of origin, mode of transportation or motive, Los Angeles is organized and ready to receive these asylum seekers when they get here. If Los Angeles is their last destination, we will ensure this is the place where they get a genuine and humane reception,” stated Angelica Salas, Executive Director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles .
Last month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration said that three dozen migrants whom the state flew from the U.S. southern border to Sacramento on private planes all went willingly, disputing allegations by California officials that the individuals were coerced to travel under false pretenses.
