A bus carrying 41 migrants from Brownsville, Texas, arrived in Los Angeles Tuesday evening – the fourth such bus to arrive in the city in recent weeks, according to a nonprofit
Among the passengers were six children ranging in age from 1 to 15 years old, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles said in a statement. About half of the migrants are from Venezuela and the others are from countries including Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Guatemala, Haiti and Honduras, it said. The nonprofit believes the bus was funded by Texas state officials. CNN has reached out to Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office for comment.
The migrants will be connected with loved ones or sponsors across the West Coast of the US, it said. “We will do what we must to protect the dignity and safety of these families whenever they arrive,” the coalition’s executive director Angelica Salas said in a statement. “We will work together with other like-minded people and entities in Los Angeles to receive these asylum seekers with compassion and respect.
