The migrants are asylum seekers from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela, said a statement from the L.A. Welcomes Collective.
A bus carrying 39 people seeking asylum arrived at Union Station from Texas on Saturday morning, the 10th such bus Gov. Greg Abbott has dispatched to Los Angeles since June.
“They arrived obviously tired, exhausted after a long trip, but none seem emaciated or ill,” said Jorge-Mario Cabrera, a spokesman for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, a member of the collective. “They are desperate to get off the bus, but they are not distraught.”Upon arrival at Union Station, the passengers were directed onto L.A. city buses that carried them to Bishop Mora Salesian High School in Boyle Heights.
Once at the high school they were met by representatives of the L.A. Welcomes Collective, which has been assisting the roughly 400 people sent to L.A. in recent months from Texas under the state’s so-called Operation Lone Star.
