Texas has funded the transport of more than 22,000 migrants to Democratic-run cities across the U.S., including New York, Washington, Chicago, Denver and Philadelphia, as part of Abbott’s protest against federal immigration policies.
Earlier this month, this group of migrants arrive in Los Angeles from Brownsville, Texas. Another bus arrived in L.A. on Saturday.
A bus carrying 44 migrants from Texas arrived at Union Station Saturday morning, the fifth such busload sent by Texas Gov.The bus of migrants arrived in downtown Los Angeles from Brownsville, Texas, around 11: 30 a.m. where they were met by members of the L.A. Welcome Collective, which includes the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the Central American Resource Center-Los Angeles, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights and others.
The move by the Texas governor comes just four days after another bus he sent — carrying 44 migrants from Venezuela, China, Guatemala, Honduras, Haiti, Colombia, Chile and Brazil — arrived at Union Station from Brownsville. "The City has continued to work with City Departments, the County, and a coalition of nonprofit organizations, in addition to our faith partners, to execute a plan set in place earlier this year" Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement. "As we have before, when we became aware of the bus yesterday, we activated our plan."
