Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is taking credit for dropping off dozens of migrants from Texas to LA.
LA Mayor Karen Bass released the following statement,
"It is abhorrent that an American elected official is using human beings as pawns in his cheap political games. This evening, more than 40 people were sent by the Governor of Texas to our City of Los Angeles. Shortly after I took office, I directed City Departments to begin planning in the event Los Angeles was on the receiving end of a despicable stunt that Republican Governors have grown so fond of. This did not catch us off guard, nor will it intimidate us.
It’s unclear where and when the migrants will be moved. Border Patrol officials say while they process migrants at the border, they don't have anything to do with what happens to them after they make it into the United States. This is not the first time migrants have been flown into the Golden State… just weeks ago dozens of migrants were brought in from other states into Sacramento.
In early June, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration said three dozen migrants whom the state recently flew from El Paso, Texas, to Sacramento at taxpayer expense all went willingly, disputing allegations that the individuals were coerced to travel under false pretenses.
