The first buses of migrants departing from Texas arrived in Los Angeles Wednesday, June 14.
In a tweet, Abbott said, "migrants will be sent to sanctuary cities, including LA, until [President Biden] can secure the Texas border.""They weren't even Mexicans. It used to be he would beat on Mexicans. These were Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Hondurans and a couple of people from Africa," said Thomas Esparza, with The Law Office of Thomas Esparza Jr., P.C.
During a press conference Thursday afternoon, FOX 7 Austin asked Gov. Abbott about the treatment of migrants dropped off in LA. Many people, including the mayor of Los Angeles, have criticized Governor Abbott's attempt at securing the border by bussing migrants off to democratic-led cities. "They are coming with hope that they can keep themselves and their children safe, so instead of treating them like political props here in Los Angeles, we will treat them with the dignity they deserve as human beings," said social justice lawyer Lindsay Toczylowski.
