Gov. Maura Healey sent a delegation to Texas this week to spread the message that Massachusetts shelters are full and can't continue to take in migrant families who cross the border.
Lt. Gen. Scott Rice, the governor's emergency assistance director, speaks at a State House press conference Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023.
The group will connect with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Joint Task Force-North, non-governmental organizations and migrant families at some of the most common points of entry in Texas for families that later arrive in Massachusetts: San Antonio, McAllen, Hidalgo and Brownsville. Healey's office said the state's delegation to the border would visit the San Antonio airport, Centro de Bienvenida/San Antonio Migrant Resource Center and Shelter, Ursula Processing Facility in McAllen, Hidalgo Port of Entry and Brownsville Migrant Welcome Center.
